A statue of the Virgin Mary which has apparently begun crying tears of blood is being investigated by church officials in Mexico, with people warned not to jump to conclusions
A statue of the Virgin Mary, which has reportedly started crying tears of blood, is currently under investigation by church officials in Mexico. The statue represents Our Lady of Guadalupe, one of five apparitions said to have been revealed to a peasant named Juan Diego and his uncle Juan Bernardino in the 1500s.
While some believers see this as a divine message linked to the original apparitions, local church officials have urged worshippers not to jump to conclusions. This event has led many, including the family where the incident occurred, to label it a miracle, with people flocking to see the statue.
The Archdiocese of Morelia said in a statement that it will carry out a detailed study into the case and is not so far commenting on whether or not it is a miracle. The statement highlighted the importance of caution when dealing with potential miracles, noting the Church's historical approach of thorough scrutiny before making any declarations.
