This site is a collection of weeping statues, weeping icons, miraculous images and a list of Catholic visionaries who are associated with Marian apparitions.'Nuff said, really.
It was fortuitous that Laws of Silence stumbled onto Visions of Jesus via the page about the rather gruesome Bolivian weeping icon we've pictured with this here blog entry, for he's macabre enough to excite the morbid imagination and invite further exploration of the site.
Although the site is evidently reverential and comes from a standpoint of faith, there are lots of good photos and lore to be found for those seeking to learn more about "miraculous" icons. And hey, why not put it into some context with a dubious Wikipedia link to Weeping statues. While you're at it, take a peep at Marian apparitions.
Nice find, Daurade. I trust you've seen this in person: http://www.visionsofjesuschrist.com/weeping13.htm
ReplyDeleteOh, yes indeed. I remember when the story broke. So many people flocked to the site they had to have police directing traffic. At first it was a bank but was long ago purchased by a group called Shepherds of Christ. Jesus trumps the moneylenders yet again....
