The owner of the statue of the 'weeping' Virgin Mary had felt so drawn towards the statue while it was on display in a Birzebbuga pet shop, that she immediately purchased it and placed it in a prominent place in her residence. Three days later, on the 23rd Janauary, tears of a red liquid oozed from the statue, Il-Mument revealed. Church authorities then confirmed that the liquid was human blood.
Il-Mument stated it tried to ask the Birzebbuga family for comments but to no avail. However the family made it clear that they have no ulterior motive with regards the incident.
