It's far more recent  and definitely more controversial but there is always
the Miracle of Fatima in Portugal in, (I think) 1917.   There have been
other sightings of the Virgin Mary  but that is the largest mass sighting
that I can recall.  I doubt that few, if any, of the actual participants are
still living but their descendants (and other devout Catholics) still
believe strongly.
