The Baal Shem Tov, or Besht —  the founder of Chasidism — 
met the soul of the Messiah during an ascent to heaven. 
The Besht asked him, "When will the Master come?" 
The Messiah answered, "When your wellsprings break forth to the outside!" 
(from a letter written by the Besht to his brother-in-law about one of his soul ascents)

Holy Apparition of Mother Esther!

Holy Apparition of Queen Mother Esther's Crown

(as in Ateret Ba'alah* | or "that place" | or Haman's hat | or a tricorn symbol of the three-in-one)!

Authentic wall stain appears miraculously in utility closet in Northampton MA on Adar!

And here's another apparition (in grilled cheese) that looks more like a Hamantaschen than like Mother Mary (Miriam):
Happy Purim!
You are listening to Die Ganze Magilla:

* Ateret Tiferet or Ateret Ba'alah (Crown of Beauty/Crown of Her Husband) would be Shekhinah i.e. yoni wrt Tiferet i.e. lingam acc. to Kabbalah; al pi Eliot Wolfson's interpretation it means specifically the corona—hence Haman's hat. So when we eat...actually, maybe we don't want to go there!
