Summary/Abstract: The apparitions of Our Lady in Gietrzwald (Gietrzwałd) in 1877 were ignored by the press during the first weeks of the “mariofania” (Virgin’s apparition). The first short information about the apparitions in Gietrzwald (Gietrzwałd) appeared on July 7, 1877 in Oredownik poznanski (Orędownik poznański), reprinted three days later by Pelplin Pielgrzym. More comprehensive descriptions of Gietrzwald (Gietrzwałd) events in the press appeared only from the middle of August 1877. Descriptions of the visionaries, healings and pilgrimages were presented. The pilgrims came from Galicja, Wielkopolska, Mazowsze, Lithuania, Ruthenia, Malopolska (Małopolska), West Prussia, Pomerania, Warmia and many other European countries. Oredownik (Orędownik), Pielgrzym and Goniec Wielkopolski. devoted a lot of space to the apparitions.
