virgin.jpgEvery so often the Virgin Mary will make an appearance. Very often these appearances happen in Latino neighborhoods where the Catholic faith is strong. The latest Virgin sighting went down in a baking pan in Houston, Texas.

On Feb. 23, 2007. Guadalupe Rodriguez, a cafeteria worker at Pugh Elementary on the East Side, not pictured, discovered the image while cleaning the dishes from lunch on Ash Wednesday. The cooking sheet is now on display in the front yard of a home a few blocks away from the school, with numerous visitors coming to see the image.

I believe in miracles pero I don’t really know if I buy this or many of the other Virgin Mary sightings featured on ABC. Just call me Mala, lapsed Catholic of little faith.

The shawl is now in the basilica. Last night, as is traditional , Las Mañanitas was sung.

All over the country, even in places as unlikely as Wisconsin, the faithful are celebrating the dark skinned virgin and Juan Diego, who was made a saint in 2002 by Pope John Paul II.
