The Sun Dances on Easter Morning - Queensland Couple Witness the Spectacle

(The following story was told me by a fellow Medugorje pilgrim and it is printed here with permission)

The week before Easter I heard two comments about the sun dancing on Easter morning. One was on TV and the commentator was sceptical about people being able to look at the sun and not damage their eyes. The second comment was by an Anglican friend who related to me the story of an old friend whose mother used to tell her to get up and see the sun dance on Easter Sunday when she was a child.

I remembered seeing a very beautiful sunrise last Easter as my husband, John and I drove to Mass. We live in Rubyvale, Central Queensland and the best part of our trip to Emerald to Mass is due east; so I thought I would take special notice this Easter Sunday, feeling that I was going to see something special.

We were well on our way towards Emerald when the sun rose and it seemed to be pulsating with rings of colour coming from it. I asked John did he see it and he said he did. The sun then split into two heart shapes and I saw these as the two hearts - the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Then suddenly there were three suns; the two hearts were round and there was a third sun below them. I saw this as the Holy Trinity.

As John was driving he had to keep looking to the road which is pretty much straight ahead. He commented that there was more than one sun, there were two or three. Later he said that he saw the two hearts also. After that the sun was spinning, seeming to come towards us and then recede. The surface of the sun changed colour constantly; blue, green, purple, red and yellow and bands of colour radiated from it. It pulsated and spun and it changed to a flat white disc which I saw as the Blessed Host.

After a short time the sun went behind a long narrow cloud but there was a small hole in the centre and the sun could be seen through it; I said to John, "This must be the narrow entrance". While the sun was behind the cloud it was still pulsating and spinning and changing to the Host. It was a very humbling but exciting experience. I would have liked the whole world to have seen it and believe that the Lord is truly risen!

After Mass, I was unable to look at the sun like I had done for about twenty minutes before Mass. Not surprisingly, our eyes do not appear to have been damaged. What a wonderful Easter gift God gave us! Glory and Praise to the Holy Trinity through the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
