Visitors to the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Hobbs City, southeastern New Mexico, on May 22 said they saw a statue of the Virgin Mary crying, exactly like the phenomenon that has happened for several years. hours on the previous Sunday (May 20), according to The Hobbs News-sun.
“Tears were running down Mary's face again,” said church administrator Judy Ronquillo.
On May 22, Ronquillo was also present inside the church. According to the manager Ronquillo, the bronze statue began to "cry" as the group of worshipers finished the roze (reciting the rosary while reciting the rosary).
“It was beautiful,” said Mrs. Ronquillo. "The statue's tears are not like human tears, but something like oil and have the scent of roses."
Laura Cisneros, a parishioner, and her family attended the prayer service on May 20 and witnessed the statue "in tears". Two days later, she saw the scene again and said it felt "great".
According to Globalnews.ca, people across the state of New Mexico, the cities of San Antonio and El Paso, western Texas, flocked to the church to witness the statue "tears".
Brian Morales, from Odessa, Texas, is one of them. Morales believes God saved his life in a car accident a year ago. Morales then believed he was dead, then he saw a white light and saw God.
God touched me," Morales said. “Since meeting him, I have changed a lot and thought I needed to come here. God gave me life, there must be a reason. I want to start going to college and then help people with cancer. What is happening with the statue of the Virgin Mary in this church is amazing.”
On May 24, officials in the state of New Mexico went to Hobbs to investigate the strange phenomenon. The church is temporarily closed for four hours for experts to examine the statue, as well as collect tear samples, according to Oddity Central.
Authorities will have to examine the statue, take witness statements and find out what happened in the past to see if this is a strange phenomenon or just a hoax. This whole process is said to take several years. However, for the parishioners who had the opportunity to see water fall from the eyes of the statue of Mary, they were not interested in this investigation. For them, this is truly a miracle.
