- Abstract
Negotiating Marian Apparitions (Budapest: CEU Press, 2015) is Agnieszka Halemba’s second book about religion in the post-Soviet world. In this book, she describes in detail the Marian apparition site at Dzhublyk in Western Ukraine, which is relatively unknown in the English-speaking world as compared to such places as Lourdes, Fatima or even Medjugorje. The site is relatively young, with the original apparitions having supposedly appeared in 2002—two girls, nine and ten years old at the time, went to fetch water from a spring and came back telling of a meeting with “a most beautiful white lady.†In the years since then, the river-side meadow has been mostly built over, with a chapel constructed where the girls said they saw Mary, and a number of other buildings built nearby for the use of the priests, nuns, and pilgrims. Numerous miracles have been reported to have taken place in Dzhublyk, including a bleeding cross, and significant numbers of pilgrims have been coming to Dzhublyk from the very start, wanting to participate in the events taking place there.
