Miracle in US Church: Virgin Mary Statue ‘Caught Blinking’ on Camera” (Video)
Worshippers in an Ohio church were left astounded when they witnessed what appeared to be a statue of the Virgin Mary “blinking” at them. The event was captured on camera, leaving many in awe.
The National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, currently on a tour across the region, was reportedly seen blinking by several attendees at the Basilica of St. John the Baptist. Witnesses insist they saw the statue’s eyes open and close, a phenomenon they believe to be miraculous.
This revered statue was blessed by Pope Paul VI at Fatima in May 1967 and gifted to the UK by the Bishop of Fatima in 1968.
Photos taken by churchgoers seem to show the statue with its eyes closed, an image that has since gone viral. Katie Moran, who captured the image, shared it on social media, remarking, “I took a photo and thought, ‘that’s really nice.’ I took another just to be sure, and when I looked at it, the eyes were closed. I thought, ‘wow!'”
She wasn’t the only one who claimed to see the statue blink. Connie Liptak, another witness, stated, “I knew it was a miracle because I’d been watching her all morning. The eyes were really closed. You could clearly see her eyelashes down.”
The statue is also believed to possess healing powers, with reports of miraculous recoveries in its presence, including cases of cancer and infertility.
Ms. Moran, who is responsible for overseeing the statue, emphasized the importance of faith, saying, “For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t, no proof is possible. It’s all about faith, and I believe.”
Despite the excitement surrounding the event, the footage has sparked skepticism online, with many questioning the authenticity of the so-called miracle.
