From the Miracle Hunter: 

A 23-year-old woman called Euzebie claims to see the Virgin Mary on the 11th day of each month. She comes from a rural village known as Masinde, in the province of Kayanza. The Catholic church in the area is investigating the claims of a "vision".

Provincial governor Edouard Nduwimana says people come from all over the country, as well as nearby Rwanda and Uganda, to join Euzebie on the hill. He says the worshippers are troublemakers and they should stop.

He says they stay for three nights each month, from the 11th to the 13th, during which time they pray, bang drums, sing and cry.

"Among the growing controversy surrounding the Euzebie saga, the archibishop of the northern diocese has formally advised worshippers to stop going to see Euzebie while the church investigates to confirm whether or not she has been seeing the Virgin Mary," said Mr Nduwimana, who also comes from Masinde village.

According to followers of Euzebie, she began to see and talk to the Virgin Mary when she was four years old. She claims she hears the voice of the Virgin Mary when she talks to Euzebie. But she says only a few people, with what she calls "a special gift", can also see her.

In a written message, the Archbishop of Kayanza, Monsignor Gervais Banshimiyubusa, said that in a country emerging from war, it was normal that people were attracted to a place where they believed they could receive relief for their suffering and mercy for their sins.
