ABSTRACT
Since the mid-1970s, thousands of Catholic pilgrims have visited Flushing MeadowsCorona Park in the borough of Queens, New York City, to attend the apocalyptic Marian apparitions of Mrs. Veronica Lueken. For more than twenty years, until her death in 1995, Lueken communicated endtime prophecies from the Virgin Mary, Jesus, and numerous saints, to humanity. The group of devotees that follow these visions call themselves Baysiders, and the shrine as well the visitations from the Virgin Mary are referred to as “Our Lady of the Roses.”
