Faithful See Virgin Mary Image In Hospital Window by smile4kenn(m): 7:30am On Oct 02, 2008
Officials at a Springfield hospital say they have no immediate plans to replace a window at a doctor's office building where some people say they have seen the image of the Virgin Mary.

Thousands of people have flocked to Mercy Medical Center to see the image, since a patient reported seeing it at about 11 a.m. Tuesday, said Mark Fulco, senior vice president for strategy and marketing at the hospital.

Fulco said the hospital had planned to replace the window, which was originally put in place in the 1970s when the building was constructed. But, "Obviously, we didn't change the window out when we heard.

"We figure the best thing to do right now is just leave it in place, until it can be fully evaluated and we can get advice" from the Diocese of Springfield, he said.

No one tampered with the glass or painted anything on the inside or outside, Fulco said. Glass specialists have told hospital officials that water seeped between the panes of the double-paned glass and the "minerals reacted and caused some type of acidic reaction that appears to have etched the glass," he said.

"What is unusual is the image that appears to have been etched," he said. "Many people have said it resembles the Virgin Mary or Our Lady of Guadalupe."

Just because people claim to believe something does not mean they really do or that they have confidence in their belief.
Most people who claim to believe in the bible have little confidence in this belief, we see this in their actions any time someone sees the face of Jesus in a bowl of akamu people fly down from all over the world just to get a piece of the action.
It tells me that they are looking for evidence any evidence whatsoever even as small as this. Talk is indeed cheap.

In Springfield, Mass eh? hmmm

  If these people spent the time used to stare at that window, instead to read their bibles, they would know that staring at that window was stupid pointless.

Funny how people would rather gaze all day at an apparition than look on the Image of Christ in His word.

Come to think of it why call her Virgin Mary, when she was assumable disvirgined by her husband Joseph.

That sounds pretty much like you would not be reading that "textual content" in Arabic, no?

You see, it's easy to diss Christianity with such undertones. What does it benefit you personally?

She is called the Blessed Virgin Mary because she was a virgin before and after she gave birth to Jesus Christ.  In other words Joseph never knew her, 'biblically' speaking.

My friend, were you there when she gave birth to God.  If you're looking at the virgin birth scientifically, you no go get am.  The virgin birth is one of those phenomenons (aka mysteries) we accept by faith.  I don't know how else to explain it.

I saw this same aparation sometimes at St. Leos Catholic Church Ikeja.

Her imaged appeared on the wall and it remained there for one week. it was during the 199-cant remember the year.

i could remember watching it on NTA news too.

If you call on Her, she will always be there for you. She intercedes for her children, Shes a mediator, Shes our Mother, Shes a Queen, Seat of Wisdom, Armor of Gold, Mother of God.
