NM - Hobbs Guadalupe Virgin weeps tears of olive oil

[villiscan]

Virgin Mary statue is 'weeping' olive oil: New Mexico church investigates after congregation noticed scented 'tears' coming from its eyes

• A sample of fluid was taken from the statue, located at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Hobbs, and sent for a chemical analysis
• The church is investigating to determine whether the oil coming from the hallow statue happened because of natural causes
• Visitors have flocked to the church, since news of the phenomenon broke in May
• Church officials checked the inside of the statue to see if the weeping could have resulted from a manufacturing issue
• Hoping that the phenomenon has supernatural origins, the church will see what the 'fruits' of the weeping has shown for visitors of the statue

In general, getting people into a church is good.

I don't think ecclesiastical approval has ever been given to a weeping statue. Maybe this will be the one.
