The Marian Foundation And The Seton Miracles

By Amanda Murphy


While it can often be hard to determine if someone is telling the truth about supernatural experiences, the truth is out there. One organization documenting and tracking The Seton Miracles believes not only in the miracles but also in the apparitions which often appear alongside weeping statues of the Mother Mary.

A book sponsored by the foundation provides detailed information on weeping statues and other miracles as each unfolded. Beyond the miracles, the book also provides full color pictures of the weeping statues. Whereas, there is also a discussion regarding other statues which have been seen weeping and a detailed rebuttal with regards to skeptical challengers.

The foundation recently released a DVD with first hand accounts of individuals whom have testified as to having been present when one or more statue began to weep. Along with the book and DVD, the foundation also offers a number of gift cards which host a picture on one side and a summary with regards to the statue on the other.

As with all things supernatural, there are a number of people whom have attempted to debunk or dismiss the stories of the statues as nothing more than a hoax. In some cases, skeptics believe the statues were made with the ability to shed tears so when an owner adds water to the statue it comes out the eyes. Although, those whom have experienced not only the miracle but an apparition of the Mother Mary, have no doubt that these weeping statues are the real.

In Japan, there is one statue, Our Lady Of Akita, whom has been reported to weep. While this is the case, other locations seem to host statues of the Mother Mary. At the same time, the people of Japan can now watch the tears of the Virgin Mary on television. In either case, it is interesting to note that a number of statues around the world have been rumored to weep.

With all the other scandals going on with regards to the Catholic Church, the church has been extremely careful in responding to the reports of these weeping statues. In fact, the church has set very high standards with regards to which stories are believable. For, there have been associated hoax as is the case in Messina, Sicily where the statue of Pio of Pietrelcina bled tears which later proved to the tears of a local woman which proved the incident to be nothing more than a hoax.

Most skeptics suggest that it is not difficult to make a statue weep. In fact, it is often as simple as making a doll which can cry and weep. In fact, skeptics actually sell "do it yourself weeping statue kits" at a number of conferences and festivals. While skeptics have provided examples of some weeping statues, there are many others in which no such proof has been provided.

Rationalists, like skeptics have been known to debunk or dismiss the statues as being fake. For, most skeptics believe the miracles have only been introduced into society to create a psychological phenomenon. Whereas, those whom have seen the miracles first hand tend to disagree.
