Santuario della Madonna delle Lacrime, Siracusa, Sicilia

"The facts are these: a terra-cotta bust of the Virgin in the home of a humble couple, Angelo and Antonia Giusto, was discovered to be shedding tears on August 29, 1953. The phenomenon continued until September 1st. The tears were analyzed and it was found that they were of the same composition as human tears." - Catholictradition.org. Therefore, a work of architecture was commissioned (1966) and a church was built (consecrated 1994),Michel Andrault e Pierre Parat.

We went to check it out and to our or surprise witnessed a celebratory procession. I hope these sound images come through.  Peace be unto you.
