Bronx Boy Sees Virgin Mary

Some 30,000 people massed in and around a vacant lot at Grand Concourse and Villa Ave., Bronx, last night and vainly looked for a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary which Joseph Vitolo, the 9-year-old miracle boy claimed he saw. Last night was his 16th and last meeting with the apparition. At 7:30, just as the vigil ended, the sky lighted up, eliciting cries from the throng. Joseph Vitolo, 9, of 3194 Villa Ave., Bronx, shows neighbors the exact spot in a vacant lot where he claims to have witnessed two visitations by the Virgin Mary. Nearby residents placed candles on rock and knelt in prayer. (Photo By: Evelyn Straus/NY Daily News via Getty Images)
