Bishops at the Lady of Seas sanctuary in Byblos, north of Beirut, denied on Saturday reports that the statue of Virgin Mary is crying tears of blood and oil.

The bishops said in a statement that there wasn't any oil or blood on the statue as media reports and social networking sites have claimed.

The National News Agency said Friday that blood had been oozing from the right eye and the neck of the statue while Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) said the statue was crying oil.

“The phenomenon was the result of natural factors,” the statement said.

It urged the faithful to be cautious while reading such news and called for praying for the virgin Mary “to preserve the nation and bless it.”

Mowaten / to everyone that doesn't believe these things..
I have witnessed it in my own eyes, when of our lady of Bechwat Statue had its eyes blinking for several times. It was breathtaking, I stood there for minutes just to make sure it WAS REALLY BLINKING.
Please for all that have witnessed it please join by liking or posting a comment.
We who have seen these miracles are lucky, however we are all responsible of sharing what we have witnessed with those who haven't.
I'm not sure about the status of this Statue yet, as no church body has claimed the above miracle yet.

comin g from a christian: this is certainly a joke! I thought that the naharnet readership (muse and xtians) are the educated fact finding class.

Get real guys. both religions are myth for crowd control.

Yes all Christians believe in these things because we believe in miracles. Each one that is reported is assessed by professionals to make sure some idiot is not making a story up and seeking attention.

Uhm FT, respecting the virgin mary is not the same as visiting harissa as thats not virgin mary. We rewpect her in our hearts, not by going to statues as thats considered shirk in Islam and any muslim who show his respect in such a way is sinning greatly according to the quran. Just saying.

After all you have said you have the nerve to claim you never said anything. Hypocrites. You insult islam day and night on naharnet.

Just because you believe in this sort of thing doesn't mean it's true. Plenty of people believe that they've seen UFOs and bigfoot, etc; doesn't mean it's true. Religious people will always believe what they want to believe.

The1phoenix, when this happened in nab3a how much money did the family raise ? Bass so2ale

No not all Christians beleive in this. Not even the Church beleives in this before making thourough investigations.

It's ridiculous that even this incident related to the holy virgin is a cause for us to fight with Muslims. How can we ever build a country like this. Please open your mind and stop this childish George Bush mentality "Either you are with us or you are against us!"

Hehehe better mowaten if u didn't speak, if people don't believe in miracles so all the religions are wrong....

It's important to accept that REAL miracles do occasional exist, but also equally important to accept, that there are criminals that create hoaxes to capitalize dollar donations on the hyper faithful, the medically sick and desperate with cancer, etc. Those fraudulent hoax scammers are the ones dividing the faithful against each other.

Guys, everyone has their own believes. We should all just respect each other, pray for one another. We are all blessed because we have life. God does not pick and choose. We have all experienced miracles in different ways. May God Bless You All, Christians, Muslims,Heathens,Zanzibars and all Religious and Non Religious People out there. God created us all in His Image. He would have never put us on the earth if we were not special to Him. Are we questioning His work? Let's just keep on praying. God Bless Us.
