The mystery of the eleven year healer in Santiago del Estero

   Brian Ezequiel Álvarez, a 11 years old child from Santiago del Estero, northern Argentina, is assaulted by people saying he can cure diseases. 

  The child uses only the image of Virgin Mary for achieving miracles. There are supernatural phenomena that

can not be explained, being understood only by those who live and are their beneficiaries. The inhabitants of Santiago del Estero say Ezequiel received blessing from Our Lady to care those in need. His story became known in the neighborhood where he lives for several years. Since then, visitors do not cease to take his house by storm. “One night, while sleeping, he saw the Virgin. It was big and dressed in white. She spoke to me and gave me the blessing to heal people with my hands”, said the child. “She told me that that from that day I got a blessing and power of my hands for healing the world and because it is something that she gave me, I must do good things for people without asking anything in return “, added Ezequiel. The child made a sort of altar in the house, where he put the image of Our Lady (Nuestra Señora del Rosario) and a bottle of blessed water. In that humble corner, many people say they have found the solution to their problems. The first patient cured was even his father, who had a feet problem and could not walk. The child was able to put him back on its feet. Then he healed the neighbors until its popularity exceeded  the district and its outskirts.Hundreds of people come to his house to search Ezequiel “blessing”. “Not only sick people come here. Many people search help for their job”, says Fátima Ordóñez, his mother. Some required the help of Ezequiel by phone. Sometimes he goes to Monte Quemado, to heal the world in the area. The boy pray for the sick to the Virgin (Virgen del Rosario). “I always believed in God and the Virgin”, said Ezequiel, who never quit the image of Nuestra Señora del Rosario. Otherwise, it is a normal kid who lives with his family, going to school Diego de Rojas. He is in the fourth grade and loves to play with peers.
