1630 1631 Brother Died Levitated Levitation Sees Virgin Vision Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment when Brother Humile di Bisignano, a humble friar from the Capuchin Order in southern Italy, is said to have been lifted off the ground during a profound vision of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus in the year 1630. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit room, with the friar's fellow brothers in awe as they witness the miraculous event. The Virgin and child, bathed in a soft, ethereal light, gaze down upon the levitating Brother Humile with tender affection. The exact circumstances surrounding this extraordinary occurrence have been passed down through the annals of history, with some accounts suggesting that the vision was a reward for Brother Humile's deep devotion and piety. Others believe that it was a sign of divine approval for his ascetic lifestyle and dedication to his religious order. Regardless of the reasons, the story of Brother Humile's levitation has captivated the imagination of generations, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of the transcendent power of faith and the mysteries of the divine. Brother Humile di Bisignano, born in the region of Calabria around 1570, lived during a time of great turmoil and change in Europe. The Counter-Reformation was in full swing, and the Catholic Church was working to reassert its authority and strengthen the faith of its followers. The Capuchin Order, founded in 1525, was at the forefront of this movement, known for its strict adherence to poverty, chastity, and obedience. The story of Brother Humile's levitation adds to the rich tapestry of the Capuchin Order's history and the enduring power of religious belief in the face of adversity. This photographic print, which captures the essence of this remarkable tale, invites us to reflect on the profound impact that faith can have on the human experience and the enduring allure of the paranormal and the unexplained.
