Worshipers 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 taken place in a church in El Canal, a community in the state of Colima.
Hundreds of believers and spectators have come to the spiritual statue in the hope of witnessing the tearful Virgin Mary for themselves.
A video posted to social media showed droplets of water falling from the statue’s eyes and running down her face.
The statue was caught with tears streaming down his face in Mexico. The tearful statue seemed to turn red around its eyes after crying

Some have even said that the statue’s eyes turned red as tears fell.
“In the same way, when we cry and our eyes turn red, the same thing happens to the statue,” said local resident Victor Ramos.
Other locals have come to associate Mary’s tears with the ongoing violence in Colima state this year.
In October, 702 intentional murders were confirmed by the Colima Public Prosecutor’s Office.
The statue’s tears have led onlookers to believe that she is trying to bring peace to the violence-filled community.
Although the so-called miracle amazed many, it did not impress Professor Luigi Garlaschelli, who spoke about the science behind the statue. He noted that some statues have the ability to absorb water based on their materials.
“You need a hollow statue made of plaster or ceramic,” Garlaschelli said.
In April, the Pontifical Mariana International Academy began investigating “mystical phenomena” around the world, including “weeping” images of the Virgin Mary, along with stigmata and ghost sightings.

He added that the exterior of the statue is usually accompanied by a waterproof layer.
Once the hole at the top of the statue is filled with water, the ‘porous material will absorb it’, but if there is even a small crack in the structure, water can drip out.

In addition to investigating the mysterious weeping Virgin Mary around the world, they have also dedicated themselves to investigating ghost sightings, inner sayings and stigmata – which believers see as physical marks, scars or pain that correspond to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ.
