This is as miraculous as Jesus appearing on a tortilla. There is a logical explanation, but the true believers aren’t interested in it.

In many such cases, it’s outright fraud. The statue is rigged or some ‘well meaning’ cleric is doping the statue. Is it really blood? Is it human blood?
And, of course, the ‘”meaning” is open to wide and wild interpretation.

I remember a story several years ago about an image of Jesus that was created by the sun shining through an outhouse window. And the “faithful” lined up to worship! I wish I had the story.

There were people going to a spot some where below the SF bay area near the coast to watch the sun set hoping to see an image of jesus appear but the CHP had put a stop to it because after staring at the sun they couldn’t see but would drive anyway and wreck.

I agree. But hey, it’s a great way for the church to drum up some business. Selling the threat of eternal damnation has lost it’s luster and people just aren’t buying it anymore, so why not spice it up a bit with a statue of a crying virgin?

Gawd works in melodramatic ways his blunders to perform.

If this statue is cast iron ? Somebody spent alot forming the mold with impeccable results or some bondo under the paint for a smooth finish

There was a t#rd for auction on eBay that looks just like Leo Di CR#PIO.

A real “miracle” would be if the statue came to life, spoke and walked away….
Anything less is total BS.
