Every first Sunday of the month from the first apparition of the Virgin Mary five years ago (August 5, 1990), the girls to whom the Virgin Mary appeared have given her message to the faithful. At the time of the most recent apparition (Sunday August 6, 1995), the Mother of God announced that this was her last appearance. The visionaries are Ivetka Korcak and Katka Ceselka.
from Narodna Obroda, December 14, 1995
The construction of the Staryna Reservoir inundated seven Rusyn villages in okres Humenne. Swallows which were born and raised there return with their young every year at springtime. They cannot find their actual birthplace. so they sadly fly over it. They fly to Stascyn Snina and other places where the people now live.
The first swallows which earlier in 1994 flew to the remains of Zvala, figured out what to do. On top of the metal walls of a garage in one remaining house, which belongs to the hunter's association "Jastrab", they built a perfect nest and gave birth to their young. This took much greater effort than usual, though now the polished metal sheet has another use than just being the wall which supports the roof.
See what birds will do for their progeny and their survival! The hunters to whom this building belongs believe that the swallows will surely return.
