Blood-crying Virgin on the border

16:50 H | Topics: Mexico - Religion

Last week Mala told you about a sighting of the Virgen de Guadalupe that occurred in a baking pan in Texas. La Virgen's latest trick apparently took place in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico, when an image of her allegedly began to shed bloody tears.

According to Univision.com, on Ash Wednesday (also the day of the baking pan incident) the image, which its owner, María Guadalupe Salazar Martínez, keeps in her home (which according to Univision, is "made of cardboard, boards and aluminum), began to cry. First, the tears were "normal", but she later began crying tears of blood. Since then, the home has become a shrine for devout visitors from all over the city, and clergymen have gone to witness the phenomena firsthand to see if it can be indeed declared a miracle. No word on that...yet.

This kind of thing seems to be happening a lot lately. I was watching Caso Cerrado on Telemundo the other day and a Cuban couple apparently had la Virgen on their closet door. The woman was suing her husband for tearing off the door and turning their living room into a shrine.

Many say that la Virgen appears to people in places where she knows she'll noticed, like a cooking utensil, in your bedroom or even in food. If she appeared to me I bet it would be on my computer screen or my cell phone.
