I hope this helps.

Thanks for the additional links; it appears that the Archbishop consecrated the altar at the chapel.

There is a spring behind the apparition "Hut" whose waters have been the source of miraculous healings.

No apparition in Litmanova have approval yet. Metropolitan Jan Babjak SJ proclaimed Litmanova as official pilgrimage place of the Archeparchy, nothing more, nothing less. There is no mentioning of any apparition.

Thanks for your post!
