This unique Sacred Icon is linked to “Our Lady of Fatima” and to “Our Lady of Medjugorje.” Its vital purpose was foretold on the feast day of “Our Lady of Fatima” which is: through Mary’s Most Powerful Role as Mediatrix of All Graces– Mary gives us vast outpourings of All of God’s Graces, and Protection against every type of evil.

Exactly 73 days later (there are 73 Books in the Bible), on October 7th., “The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary” the Icon’s vital, two-part purpose was foretold in a profound second dream which was: whoever venerates Mary through her Most Powerful Role as “Mediatrix of all Graces” will receive vast outpourings of all of God’s graces, and also will receive protection against every evil.

Without arranging any of these 13 dates: on the Feast Day “The Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary”, “Mary’s Way to Jesus Apostolate” was established. Two days later, on October 13th, 1996 on “The Anniversary of The Great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima” and allegedly through “Our Lady of The Rosary”/”Our Lady of Fatima”, the Icon was offered to be painted by one of the world’s finest artists: mystic, and world renowned Marian Visionary Josyp Terelya from the Ukraine – most surprisingly, during a Saint Louis de Montfort Religious Conference.

The inspired artist said: “I will paint the Icon for you, if you allow me to paint this Icon with ‘the true, real face of Mary’” that he saw when he was miraculously saved by Mary from certain death, and six other times! On the 13th of November, through inspiration, instructions were given: to name the Icon “Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces”, and to paint this principal title around Mary’s head in the universal language of the Church - Latin “DOMINA NOSTRA MEDIATRIX OMNIUM GRATIARUM” – for worldwide distribution and understanding.

On the 13th of December, three instructions were given: first, symbolically paint “The Wedding at Cana” to represent “Our Lady Advocate”; 2nd, paint “The Crucifixion with Mary Standing” to definitively also represent “Our Lady Coredemptrix” in the Icon; and third, paint an “Ichthys” prostrate at the feet of Jesus – to represent every Christian in the world, imploring His Divine Mercy! This precious Icon was finished on “Christmas Day” 1996 – “as Mary’s Gift to the entire world” given to everyone on and for the 2000th Birthday of Jesus! [There is a 4 year error in our calendars! It occurred when our present "Gregorian Calendar" was revised in the year 1582 from "The Julian Calendar".]

On the Feast of “Mary the Mother of God” January 1st, the Original Icon was blessed at the altar, at Holy Mass, in the Ukrainian Catholic Rite by Bishop Danylak in Canada. About the 13th of January, all of the money needed to pay for the Icon was given to us! On the 13th of February, the Icon was Express Mailed from Canada to the United States. The Icon mysteriously arrived at “Mary’s Way to Jesus Worldwide Apostolate” on “Saint Valentine’s Day”, on “The Feast Day of Love” – as a sign of Mary’s love for all. The large box in which the Original Miraculous Icon was shipped is Dated and Time Stamped (in military time) crossing the border into the United States exactly, on the first 13th minute of Valentine’s Day “STAMPED 00.13″ – again for Fatima.

Throughout the last twelve years, the unworthy caretaker of The Miraculous Icon® Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® was given over 1000 visible signs of the Number 13, assuring and guiding him, confirming how extremely important Our Lady Mediatrix of All of God’s Graces is for everyone!

The burning wick of first candle lit for The Miraculous Icon® miraculously changed into the shape of a crucifix with the Paschal letter “P” on top for exactly 3 hours – for Jesus’ 3 hours on the cross! The black wick miraculously turned into a white “ichthys”!

Upon arriving at “Mary’s Way to Jesus Apostolate”, a blessed 7-day candle was lit for The “Our Lady of Fatima” and “Our Lady of Medjugorje” linked Sacred Icon: “Our Lady Mediatrix and Dispenser of All of God’s Graces”. With 3 days of candle wax still left, the candle burned “miraculously” for exactly 3 hours: for Jesus’ 3 hours on the cross! (I showed my wife: the time was from 1:13 to 4:13 again the signs 13!)

The burning candle wick split apart and expanded into the shape of a perfect crucifix! In addition, the top of the candle wick curled into the shape of a perfect Paschal-shaped letter “P” representing the sacrificial, Paschal Lamb on the altar of the Cross – at the top of “The burning Candle Wick Crucifix”! This was videotaped and shown to others. Also “miraculously”, when the candle burned out, the remains of the burnt, blackened candle wick – turned white, and then into the outline of a perfect “Ichthys” (a fish symbolizing all Christians – “a sign” that this is the Icon for all Christians throughout the world) at the bottom of the 8 inch glass container which held the candle – and is still there! The exact same white-outlined “Ichthys” is painted on The Miraculous Icon®, also at the bottom!

A Medical Doctor recently sent us photos of the 7-day candle she lit in front of one of our Mediatrix Icons as soon as she received it, which showed that the burning candle wick miraculously changed into the shape of a Rose, and later into a Cross! See Photo Gallery.

Exquisite Crucifixes of Jesus with the wounds shown on The Shroud of Turin, with the Paschal Lamb letter “P” at the top, and with Mary standing and Saint John kneeling at Golgotha are available as Calvary-Scene Crucifix© Pendants, Free Standing Table Crucifixes and Wall Crucifixes, and Our Lady Mediatrix Rosaries©.

The Miraculous Icon® is “Divinely Inspired” and an exquisite blending of Eastern Icon Art and the finest Western Art, making it the most beautiful Icon, and the most lifelike Icon for the entire world to cherish and venerate.

On the Feast Day of “The Annunciation” March 25th, 1997, and on March 25, 2002, the Original Miraculous Icon® of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® Icon was blessed with an “All-Healing and An All evil-dispelling Icon Blessing,” at the altar during Holy Mass, in The Byzantine Catholic Church Eastern Rite and in The Orthodox Catholic Church Rite.

Five thousand people were in the main upper church of the Basilica throughout the day – many praying to Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces® through the Miraculous Icon®.
