- A statue of the Virgin Mary was filmed 'crying' from its eyes in Mexico
- The alleged miracle is said to have happened at a church in El Canal, a community in the state of Colima
- The occurrence attracted both skeptics and believers
Worshippers in Mexico were left in awe after witnessing the real-life 'miracle' of a statue of the Virgin Mary 'crying' - and the stunning scene was caught on film.
The alleged miracle is said to have happened at a church in El Canal, a community in the state of Colima.
Hundreds of believers and spectators have flocked to the spiritual statue in hopes of witnessing the tearful Virgin Mary for themselves.
A video that was posted to social media showed water droplets falling from the statue's eyes and flowing down her face.
Some have even said the statue's eyes became red as the tears came dripping down.
'Similarly, when we cry, and our eyes become red, the same happens to the image,' local resident Victor Ramos said.
Other locals have gone on to associate Mary's tears with the persistent violence in the state of Colima this year.
As of October, there have been 702 intentional homicides confirmed by the Colima Prosecutor's Office.
The statue's tears have made spectators believe she is trying to signal peace in the violence-filled community.
Though the so-called miracle has astonished many, it didn't impress Professor Luigi Garlaschelli who talked about the science behind the statue. He noted some statues have the ability to absorb water based on their materials.
'You need a hollow statue made of plaster or ceramic,' Garlaschelli said.
He added the outside of the statue is typically accompanied by a waterproof layer.
Once the hole at the top of the statue is filled with water then the 'porous material will absorb it', but if there is even a slight crack in the structure it could cause water to drip out.
In April, a Vatican academy in Italy set out to investigate 'mystical phenomena' around the world including 'weeping' statues of the Virgin Mary, stigmata and ghost sightings under plans for a new dedicated observatory.
The Pontifical Mariana International Academy, which described itself as a scientific institution of the Holy See, has hoped to uncover 'around a hundred ongoing phenomena' in Italy alone.
On top of delving into the mysterious weeping Virgin Mary all over the world, they have also dedicated themselves to investigating ghost sightings, interior locutions and stigmata - which believers see as bodily marks, scars or pains corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ.
In September 2019, other worshipers said that they saw 'tears' streaming down the face of a painting of the Virgin Mary is a 'sign of God' in a church facing bankruptcy.
A caretaker first noticed the 'miracle' phenomenon as she prepared for one of the last services in the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago.
Reverend Nicholas Jonas was told she witnessed tears pouring from the Virgin Mary's eyes, leaving behind a long streak on the painting, the Chicago Tribune reported.
In 2018, another Virgin Mary, this time in Argentina, was seen 'weeping' tears of blood for what was reputed to be the 38th time.
The statue of the Virgin of the Mystic Rose has been linked to several 'miracles', such as a woman who had a three-inch tumor that reportedly disappeared after she visited it.
The Virgin Mary herself is most commonly known for being the mother of Jesus Christ. She is also known as a symbol of motherhood, purity, obedience, humility and faithfulness.
Mary is also known as the patron saint of all human beings as she watches them with motherly care and is known as the most noteworthy female figure in Christianity.
