What Happened in El Cajas is True

About the Book

The book "What Happened in El Cajas is True - A Testimony of the Apparition of the Virgin in Ecuador" contains a selection of various personal testimonies of the author which, in a simple but all the same time frank style, sum up the emtire chronology of the Virgin in the austral sector of El Cajas, in Ecuador, and which, at that time, gave way to controversy among the groups that defended the events and their detractors, both within as well as outside the Church. Mayra de Casares, seventeen years after these events took place, unveils various sceneries and new elements unknown until this date. This book contains photographs in colour.

About the Author

With a wide trajectory in the areas of administration and social assistance, Mayra Ribadeneira de Casares – gifted with vigorous energy – has fulfilled a wide number of tasks that have lead her to become an authentic leader of multiple initiatives which have materialised effectively. As President of Fundacion Radio Maria and Vice President of Fundacion Cultural “Exedra”, she has been in charge of various social programmes among which “Godparents of the Future” (education for low income children) and extensive work in the area of micro-enterprise development within our jails could be brought to light, as well as other important pastoral actions projected into the entity of Fundacion Radio Maria. In 1998 she started to broadcast in Radio Maria the programme “La Abuela que Vuela” (“The Grandmother that Flies”), a space devoted to spread human values among our country’s children and youngsters, an audience that is becoming wider and wider among these sectors. She has also written stimulating tales for children and has thus fomented the imagination of the kids and the solidarity and love among each other. She is also the author of the book “Tigua”.
