Crowds of worshippers are surging to the Transfiguration Catholic Church in Marietta, Georgia, and it's not as a result of the priest's sermon. It's thanks to what the pastor describes as a 'divine occurrence' after an image of the virgin Mary appeared on the church's window. Visitors have left flowers beneath the window and built a makeshift altar.



Responding to allegations that the 'divine occurrence' may have more mortal origins, the church's pastor Father Bernardo Molina says he did not create the image himself.

'There are a lot of people that may think it's a stain or condensation. They ask if I drew it,' he said. 
'No, no, no. There's no way you can do that,' he added.

Father Molina said the unusual mark appeared on the window on December 12 and can be seen on most sunny days. 

One woman who was among the throngs queuing up to see the 'miracle' was in tears as she prayed to the silhouette.
'Believe, believe and have faith,' was her message. 

In a Facebook post to the church's followers, Father Molina said he was not sure how the image appeared.

He said: 'Many parishioners and other visitors claim it to be an image of the Virgin Mary.
I have heard several explanations ranging from a divine occurrence to a faulty window coating. I will let you make your own interpretation. 
'We may never agree on why or how this image appeared on the window.'

This is my problem with catholics. They claim they don't worship Mary yet you can see one of them PRAYING to the silhouette of Mary. They even created an altar where the image appeared. If that does not equate to worship, then I wonder what will?

"Thou shall not make thee any griven image. Or any likeness of any kind; for I the lord I'm a jealous God"

end time appearance

It is more of an optical illusion. The stain on the window with the dry grasses as a background.

See as Satan don hypnotized people... It's a pity

It's a mysterious occurence that I'm yet to find explanation for.

Roughly a year and few months ago, there was an apparition of that ilk at St Benedict's Ubiaja, Edo State.

Lasisi can't be more right.

Mary don show ooo..?

I have sire; Christ. That is the primary reason for christainity never told us to worship him tru Mary; or ask us to ask Mary tointercede for us... he said, we should ask tru him, and he shall ansWer... so where does Mary come in?
My Brother; sorry to say; but all you catholics are IDOL worshippers...

IF my church starts making any image of Jesus or any likeness and start bowing to it; I'll surely leave them shortly afterwards.... cus dat will be idolatory...

My brother; We donot need anybody intercede for us, that will amount to idolatory... Pray to ur God and he shall answer

Everyday I wake up and realized how lucky I am to be an atheist. Abeg see mumus

Allow people to practice their faith the way they want to. God is the final judge

Y did they look at d bronze serpent in d Bible? Y didn't the people go straight to Jesus for him to turn water into wine for them? Y did Jesus obey Mary when she told him to turn the water, or u think Jesus don't listen to Mary her mother till now? Y don't u use ur brain? God said don't make any image but still told isrealites to make golden serpent? Ogbeni d earlier u understand that the Bible is not novel and d word of God which needs God's wisdom to understand the better. Stop using ur hard earned money to feed another man nd his family. Ask God for wisdom he will give u nd u will understand everything in the Catholic Church.

I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for that. But Nigerians love to cling to the supernatural at every chance.

Is the law you quoted not an old testament law?
