Lupu stated that he saw God hovering above the earth, who urged him to tell others to repent, honour the Lord's Day, as well as fast on Wednesdays and Fridays.[1] Lupu erected a Christian cross where the apparition took place; it soon became a place of Christian pilgrimage, with the fountain water being said to be miraculous.[1]
