SACRAMENTO, Calif.
- Carrying rosary beads and cameras, the faithful have been
coming in a steady stream to a church on the outskirts of
Sacramento for a glimpse of what some are calling a miracle:
A statue of the Virgin Mary they say has begun crying a
substance that looks like blood.
It was first noticed more than a week ago, when a priest
at the Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church spotted a stain
on the statue’s face and wiped it away. Before Mass on Nov. 20,
people again noticed a reddish substance near the eyes of the
white concrete statue outside the small church,
said Ky Truong, 56, a parishioner.
Since then, Truong said he has been at the church day and
night, so emotional he can’t even work. He believes the tears
are a sign.
Thousands of such incidents are reported around the world
each year, though many turn out to be hoaxes or natural
phenomena.
