In the modern world of today, things happen ever so rapidly and increasingly in a digital metaverse. In such a world as we find ourselves, the history of the Jumano people together with their systems of belief and faith can serve as a reminder that not all things can be explained with such immediacy. In the case of the Lady in Blue, it may be easy to dismiss the claim of bilocation but 400 years of belief and faith are another story.
