HOBBS, N.M. (AP) — A Virgin Mary statue at a Hispanic Catholic church in southeastern New Mexico is drawing visitors from around the region because believers say it appears tears are flowing from the statue's face.
Visitors of the bronze statue located inside the
auxiliary building of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church said Tuesday
the statue wept, like it did for several hours last Sunday, the Hobbs
News-Sun reported .
"There were tears coming down her face again," said
church manager Judy Ronquillo, who was in the building on Tuesday when
it took place.
Ronquillo said the statue began crying as the group inside the church finished a Rosary.
"It's beautiful," she said. "The tears aren't watery, they are an oil-like substance and the tears smell like roses."
