The vision/image of Virgin Mary |
Crowds of Catholics have flocked
to a Malaysian hospital to hold a prayer vigil in front of what they believe to
be a vision of the Virgin Mary which has "miraculously" appeared on
one of the building's windows.
Visitors have been lighting
candles praying and singing hymns close to the image which has gone viral on Facebook.
It has been described by
some on the scene as a "miracle."
Father Lawrence Andrew,
editor of Malaysian Catholic newsletter, The Herald, said that the
church would need to investigate and verify the authenticity of the images and
"the experiences of the witnesses."
"It could be
private revelations. We have to make sure they are not imagined but real
apparitions," he said.
Eunice Fernandez, who
lives nearby, said: "We believe Mary, mother of God, has a message for us,
as she is looking down on us and then at a Malaysian flag. We can also see
Jesus and he is also moving, they are not static."
The 54-year-old
housewife dismissed claims the image could be a hoax.
The hospital have yet to
comment on the vision.
More than 100
worshipers, some from hundreds of miles away, have converged on the Sime Darby
Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur, after the vision appeared a few days ago.
The group, who are
convinced that the mysterious mark on the seventh floor window represents the
much revered mother of Jesus Christ, said that they can also see a second image
of her son two windows away.
