crying virgin mary-this creeps me out

[supernoodles!]

Statues and paintings in Europe has been proven to have either wept or bled. Probably the most famous case is in 1953 where a small statue of Mother Mary keep weeping profusely. Scientists even took samples of the tears, and announced that they could not differentiate it from human tears. The Catholic Church took it as a miracle, and today, the statue is still housed in a shrine specially built for it, and receives worshippers and visitors every year. Another famous incident is when a small plaster statue of Virgin Mary bleed profusely, coming from its cheek. A Bishop initially was sceptic about it, but when he witnessed the bleeding himself, he came out of it amazed and excited. In 1971, Italy, a painting of Virgin Mary was also said to be bleeding! Police locked it in a case, and when they opened it the next day, it was found that the painting was still bleeding, and that blood was actually human blood!

Thousands of people in the Bangladeshi port city of Chittagong are flocking to a Roman Catholic church where tears are reported to have been seen on a statue of the Virgin Mary.
The marble statue is kept in a glass case which scientists say could lead to condensation appearing on the Virgin Mary's face



Many of those visiting the church are Muslims, eager to see what some locals believe is a sign of the Virgin's dismay over the recent outbreak of violence in the country and elsewhere in the world.

Roman Catholic believers say it is the first time in Bangladesh that tears have been seen on a statue of the Virgin Mary.

In a country which is overwhelmingly Muslim, it is unusual for a symbol of the Christian faith to attract much interest.

But so many people are gathering outside the Chittagong church that police have been deployed to ensure law and order is maintained.

I do trust to that, for me, religion is religion, and more as I'm half-italian. That's really important.

Just a bit of info on one of the sightings,notice the bit about the preist wiping the blood away and it returning

(CBS 13) SACRAMENTO A growing number of faithful are flocking to the outskirts of Sacramento with rosaries, cameras and prayer.

Some coming as far away as the Bay area call it "a miracle".

The statue of the Virgin Mary standing outside the Vietnamese Catholic Martyr's Church appears to be weeping blood.

"I think it's her crying out that it's a sad time in the world," said Maria Aisman, believer.

The reddish tear showed up on Wednesday

"To me, personally, it is a miracle. You believe it or don't believe it, that's okay. But I strongly believe it", says Sacramento resident Andre Nguyen.

It is ar the Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church, that an outdoor statue of the Virgin Mary appears to be shedding tears of blood. Tears that stream down her face onto her robe, testing the faith of all who come.

"I think that at this time in history, in terms of what's happening in the United States, what's happening in the church, that this is possibly a sign", says Sacramento Resident Brenda Harris.

Parishoners first noticed the tears of blood on Wednesday. But fearing they were put there by pranksters, a priest here wiped the statue clean, only to have those tears return over the weekend.

The church has now contacted the Catholic Diocese in hopes an investigation will be launched. Many are so convinced it's real, they weep.

Ky Truong, who does maintenance at the church says he saw the tears rolling down the statues face around 8:30 Sunday morning. Like most at the church, he sees it as a call for prayer.

CBS 13 tried to contact the Catholic Diocese in Sacramento to determine how cases like these are investigated, but their offices were closed today.

The church is located at 10371 Jackson Road.

Fraud!!!

Some of these are manufactured to get money in from the gullible punters.

Remember the alleged milk drinking cows?

[Conor]

That is so scary. I remember seeing pics like this somewhere before.

Anyway, I was freaking out at school and my friends had to basically tackle me to shut me up, LOL! Luckily I had my huge cuddly Spongebob to snuggle xD How childish am I? Hehe

I did not find it creepy at all, I just wondered how they have done this. There is a long tradition of fake religious icons to bring in the gullible punters.
