The church at night

source

Around 14 years old, he sometimes spent his time with a kid whose parents belonged to a strict religious group. The kid was being trained to be an exorcism priest and was deep in praying, faith, godliness and spirituality. People called him a freak because he had visions and spiritual things that no one else had at the time. He did not pay much attention to it back then.

The boy loved showing him different holy places that was near their village. One of those places was memorable because of its religious paintings and statues of Mary and Jesus. According to people, the statues were crying. Even though it might sound unbelievable, it was real to then. In fact, there were cloths under some of the statues and paintings because tears would fall down from them. There was a strong smell of roses all over the house, so strong that the scent could be felt in every corner.

One night, somewhere between 2 and 3 AM, the boy asked him and his friend Lena, Do you want to go to church? There is a prayer house which is open all day and night. It is very nice.

So, they went.

They were walking around for a while and nothing strange happened. Suddenly, the boy fell on his knees. Lena turned to him and whispered, it is happening, it is happening, just stay back.

He was confused by it and had no clue what she meant.

Suddenly, the whole church was filled with the smell of roses, a very strong smell that could not be ignored. He noticed that the boy began speaking in a strange language. His face was shining and at the same time, seemed sad and close to tears. He lifted his left hand and after placing it before his head as if he was offering himself, pointed at him and spoke saying these words "She says you are going to do great"

After that, the boy went down on his knees again and kept speaking.

There was a really loud sound. The building started to shake as if there was some kind of explosion or bombing near them. The boy jumped and rushed outside. So did Lena and he. When he looked up, he saw a huge cross looking thing made out of light.

Again, there was the same sound, so loud that he had to cover his ears.

The boy rushed inside again, followed by the two others. He threw himself down as if he was nailed to the crucifix, and stretch both hands wide apart. He began to cry loudly as if he was being pushed to the ground somehow. He stayed there for several minutes and then he passed out.

Lena said, It is done, let us get him inside.

It was already late in the evening and he was tired, crying and scared. He insisted on leaving and said he would explain everything in the car.

Inside the car, he saw something that he couldn't explain at first. His hands were bleeding from the palms, so were the tops of his feet. There were also signs of some kind of crown on his forehead.

He said he was talking to Mary who was sending him some kind of message. They never talked about this experience again.

He still has no idea how to take it and what it means. Maybe there is an explanation behind it. Maybe there is none but he knows exactly what he saw and experienced that day.
