People from across the region are making a pilgrimage to a home on the Membertou First Nation, where an image described as the Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared on a bedroom wall, and as a result is being covered by news agencies internationally. This Resemblance is remarkable if it is a spot that was made inadvertently or if it was made by nature, ie. mold. There is a chance in this case study for the Resemblance to have been made intentionally.
Last month, an estimated 2,000 visitors have visited the home, eager to see the image they believe is a message from God.
The spokesperson for the Diocese of Antigonish has also visited the home to view the image.
“This image does look like the Virgin Mary and they are having a faith response to it,” says Rev. Don MacGillivray.
Homeowner Denise Simon has since converted her bedroom into a shrine, complete with a daily service dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
“This is her feet, that is her body and that’s her head with the crown, and that’s her rosary beads,” she explains, pointing to the apparent apparition.
Named after the Grand Chief Membertou (1510-1611) the community of Membertou belongs to the greater tribal group of the Mi’kmaw Nation. Membertou is situated in the city of Sydney, Nova Scotia, within its tribal district of Unamaki (Cape Breton). It is one of five Mi’kmaw communities in Cape Breton, and one of thirteen in the Province of Nova Scotia.

- Back in 1998, many people visited the Tim Hortons coffee shop in Bras d’Or, just outside Sydney Mines, after some said they could make out the visage of Christ’s face on the exterior wall. When outside light bulbs were changed later in the month, the image disappeared.
- Again, in 2001, people in Indian Brook First Nation believed they saw an image of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus on a bedroom wall in a private home. Thousands journeyed to see that image. The family who lived in the home eventually moved away and it is not known what happened to the image.
