Crowds of people have flocked to a small town in Israel to catch a glimpse of the weeping statue.
The otherwise unremarkable sculpture had been purchased last year by the Khoury family who live in Tarshiha, near the Lebanese border. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened until very recently when Amira Khoury discovered that the statue seemed to be covered in an oil-like substance that was originating from its eyes.
"My wife came closer to the statue and found it was covered with oil," said her husband Osama Khoury. "She then wiped the oil, she was scared. She called our neighbour and told her to come and see what she saw."
As word got around, people from far and wide started to flock to the house to see the spectacle for themselves. To date more than 2,000 people have visited the statue, many of which now regard it to be a genuine miracle.
I remember a few years back where my home town had a church that claimed that a statue weaped. It was really big and there was a thread or five on UM about it. As it turned out, when the church reluctantly allowed researchers to examine it they found pin holes and some one was putting wax in, when it got warm enough (church had no air conditioning) the wax would melt and tears would begin. I wouldn't be supprised this is the same situation.
why does it have to weep? these always involve some kind of secretion. Why dont they smile? Hmmmm...a statue that p**ses itself...now that I'd travel to see.
the Grand Inquisition (the most evil knowing event in all history of humankind) was Catholic Now now, don't be hyperbolic, I'm sure the Catholics have done worse things then that!
It would be quite easy to have it examined in a lab to see what it is made of,any holes,etc. The oil could be also checked out. There have been a few weeping pictures of the Virgin Mary.Our Lady of Mariapoch in Hungary and Our Lady of Syracuse in Italy. There are also some eucharistic miracles involving the host or communion wafer.you can always Google this. God can do whatever He decides to do. Not everything is a fraud. I like it when God makes an Elephant headed Hindu deity statue drink Milk. Forget about God eliminating Cancer as a gesture of goodwill to his creation, and a show of his omn... [More]
Catholicism 'again' reveals the Devil ..did you know 100% of stigmata are among Catholics, did you know Jesus was seen in a slice of toast in a Catholic home, did you know the Grand Inquisition (the most evil knowing event in all history of humankind) was Catholic Meanwhile to you this is probably a real heavenly miracle.LOL!
Wonder how many barrels it pumps out a day. The gas fields there are going to bring in billions and there are (unsubstantiated) reports of huge oil finds potentially. My what a change that would bring in the attitude of the EU and others... too funny.
As the Virgin Mary statue manufacturer’s product liability last until the time of revelation, all weeping statues will be replaced by the manufacturers free of charge within that period of time. Replacements will be fedexed to the next accessible crop circle, for customer pickup, or can be picked up at Puma Punku (MO-FR 7am – 3pm, SAT/SUN closed) by the customer. So, no problem.
