Angel Apparition
by Laura Lechmaier
June, 1997, Merrill, Wisconsin. I attended a Catholic School from second grade to sixth grade. When I was about 12 years old (I'm 23 now) I went to church with my family on Sunday afternoon mass. In school we'd have to attend every Wednesday as well.
Well, I was bored and was looking around wishing this was soon going to be over with, when I looked up and saw by the stained glass window a beautiful angel! It had wings that were about three feet thick and maybe six feet tall with white feathers. It had what looked like a gold-spun robe material we've never seen in this world, flowing down, and golden blonde hair. It was barefoot and was playing a baby harp in its hands. It looked to be about eight feet tall. It looked at me so lovingly with its head tilted to the side, and its face was perfect proportions. It looked as if it could of been male or female.
I was in awe. I gasped and nudged my mom and dad and tried to see if they saw it, but everyone was singing praise and they shushed me. I looked around and no one was looking in that direction and I looked back and it was still there, but soon disappeared.
I was very close to my dad's mom (my grandma) and she always taught me to be good and pray, and about angels. She had a stroke and was put in a hospital. My family visited; my mom said she had a statue to give to me. Later, she died, and I received this statue and it was the same angel I seen at church: barefoot, baby harp, huge white feather wings and a flowing gown. It played Hark the Herald Angels Sing. I remember a beautiful glow around the angel. I kept it ever since, I wonder what it means? I often think of my grandma when I look at it. I hope I can always remember my encounter, and I know I will remember her!
