I'm not sure if the sites of the Permanent Signs will includes places not associated with a Marian apparition. I would call this site possible, but not probable, because there are so many sites that are used as places of pilgrimages by the faithful worldwide.

It is the site of three apparitions of the Virgin Mary, some years apart, now known under the title 'Our Lady of Good Health'.

"Our lady of Good Health, popularly called "Our Lady of Vailankanni" is in the small town of Vailankanni (5000 residents) located on the shores of the Bay of Bengal. It is located 150 miles south of Madras in Tamil Nadu and 5 miles south of Nagapattinam. Our lady chose this place to dispense her miracles to mankind."

Thankyou Ron, for putting vellankanni also in your list of possible sites. It will be a great blessing that will possibly lead to many more conversions if a permanent sign comes to be there. Having been there and seen the devotion of people (not only catholics) to Virgin Mary I hope & pray it will come to pass.

Will it be the same sign throughout the world or will it differ slightly, from one culture to another?

I don't know. I expect that it will be basically the same sign, but there may be some differences. This is analogous to when Mary appears in different places she looks somewhat different in each place.

Ron, do you think these signs will be crosses ?

The visionaries have said that it will be something that has not been on earth before, something miraculous, so I don't think that crosses would be sufficient to fit this description.

The sign might perhaps be some type of miraculous very realistic looking image representing the Faith, salvation, the Church, etc. and so it might include a crucifix or an image of Jesus and Mary and Saints and Angels, or something similar. But I really do not know what the signs will be, other than that they are miraculous and permanent, and that I expect them to be each in some ways similar and in other ways different, when compared to one another.

The visionaries have also said that the Permanent Sign would be very beautiful.
