Statue Of Mary Withnessed Crying With Eyes Red

Churchgoers are saying they saw the miraculous after a little statue of the Virgin Mary appeared to weep tears in a church.

Both believers and sceptics have been drawn to El Chanal, Mexico, where a “crying” figure is said to have drawn hundreds of people to the church in order to see the weeping Virgin.

Water droplets appear to be flowing out of the statue’s eyes and running down its face, according to social media videos.

Local resident Victor Ramos said: “Similarly, when we cry, and our eyes become red, the same happens to the image. So a couple of tears started flowing. This is the event, the phenomenon that is happening here in the church.”

Many people link the tears to the general unease in Colima state, which is currently experiencing a violent upsurge.

Victor added: “We can associate it with… the violence rates that are being experienced here in the state of Colima, also here in the community.”

The Colima Prosecutor’s Office had documented 702 confirmed cases of deliberate homicide as of October of this year.

Visitor Maria Mercedes Hernandez said: “Peace, may she give us peace in Colima and throughout the world, that we may return to the Colima of before.”

There might be a scientific explanation for the wailing statue, according to sceptics.

As noted by Professor Luigi Garlaschelli, some statues have the ability to absorb water because of the porous materials used in their construction.

Garlaschelli explained: “You need a hollow statue made of plaster or ceramic, which must be covered on the outside with a waterproof layer.

“By filling the statue with water through an imperceptible hole at the top, the porous material will absorb it, but the outer layer will prevent it from coming out.

“However, if a slight scratch is made in the protective glaze in the tear duct area, the absorbed water will come out through it as if it were tears.”
