August 29, 1961 The day Our Lady refused to kiss a picture of Fidel Castro

"One of the cases happened on the night of August 29, 1961. Among the objects left on the table, an unknown person left a picture of FIDEL CASTRO's face. Without seeing anything, Jacinta raised it up to the VIRGIN, AND SHE RESISTED IN KISSING him, she commented to Loli: - She said that " this person killed all the Priests". "And all the nuns," said Jacinta, who must also have heard the Virgin's explanation."

I spoke with Conchita on July 23, 2018 and she did tell me that Fidel Castro's sister Juanita Castro had visited Garabandal several times, as she lived in a neighboring town called Asturias, and always dressed in black, as a penance. We can only assume she was the one who left the picture. She asked for prayers for her brother Fidel. - Glenn
