The story began when recently-wed Angelo and Antonnia Jannusa began to experience difficulties with the pregnancy of their first child. It was then that Antonnia discovered the plaque of the Virgin Mary began to cry. The plaque cried for four days and since then has not shed a tear. However, in those few days crowds gathered to see these tears. Scientists collected evidence to prove or disprove the miracle that thousands had seen.
Based on the evidence collected at the time - tears were collected from the plaque and proven to be human, photographic evidence was collected and statements from witnesses were preserved, this crying plaque was declared a miracle.
Today, housed in a large sanctuary, the Lady of Tears still draws believers and non-believers a like. The site of her was enough to bring our chatty group to complete silence. That alone is a miracle.
