I did some editing to the intro paragraph, but I think it still has problems. One of the issues I'm trying to figure out is whether Our Lady of Aparecida is just the statue, or also an actual instance of Mary's appearance. I went to [[Marian_apparition#apparitions_with_mass_appeal|this section]] of the entry on [[Marian apparitions]], but even this well-written article doesn't appear to have citations I could look at for use in this article. I did find a [http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSN0236838720070506 Reuters article] that references the new Basilica's construction and popularity.

Edited the section about the race and color of the statue. The following sentences were removed due to bias, lack of sources, irrelevance to the topic of the article, bad grammar, and engagement in speculation: " Although members of the Church condoned with slavery & the Vatican is said to have blessed slave ships, it was not opposed to the idea of a black Madonna, as it was a way to keep the Catholic faith popular in a highly miscegenated country. Besides that, black Madonnas are popular even in Caucasian countries such as Poland. However, the features of the statue are not African at all, looking more Lusitanean (i.e. Portuguese) or Southern European, and it was never painted black, having a wooden brown color since it was carved in wood.It seems, nonetheless, to have been profitable to have it painted dark black in plaster images in a curiously Mulato (the mixture of African & European)country that often prefers to be considered white and has different names for different shades of color!" |

I think I improved the article by translating and adapting the information given on the main site for the Basilica. (Vogensen 22:10, 23 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]
According to the article abou the city, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aparecida the statue was "attacked" in 1978 and repaired. If this is the case, it should probably be mentioned here. Isaac Crumm 19:34, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The story is true and is certainly to be mentioned. I'll search for further references and add it later. Rafael Calsaverini (talk) 12:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
