A statue of the Virgin Mary was reportedly seen shedding tears just two days before the death of Pope Francis.
The incident, captured on video during a church service in Colombia on Good Friday, April 18, shows the statue with what appeared to be tears running down its face. Witnesses at the scene have claimed the event was miraculous.
The footage was taken during the Sermon of the Seven Words at St. John Eudes Parish in Aguas Claras, located in the Norte de Santander department. The “Sermon of the Seven Words” refers to the seven last sayings of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament, uttered during his crucifixion.
The video quickly went viral after being shared on social media, with many viewers believing it to be a divine sign. One commenter wrote, “It’s a miracle, how beautiful,” while another stated, “She’s really crying.”
Speculations about the significance of the tears also surfaced, with one person suggesting, “It’s a sign that God is displeased with human evil, and that’s why our mother cries in silence.”
The Diocese of Ocana, the nearby town, has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
