Hundreds Flock To Glow-In-The-Dark Virgin Mary Statue

They’re flocking to a small house in Belgium where there is word of a statue of the Virgin Mary that glows in the dark.

The phenomenon was first noticed in mid-January and has gradually attracted larger crowds, with local media reporting that some of those visiting the statue claim to have been cured of a skin condition.

The statue, about 30 centimetres (one foot) in height, represents the “Virgin of Banneux”, from the name of a nearby village where in 1933 a young girl was said to have witnessed an appearance by the Virgin.

The town has since become a pilgrim destination in largely Catholic Belgium, although Catholic authorities from the Banneux sanctuary are expressing caution about the “glowing” Virgin.

“It’s certain that something is going on but I can’t tell you whether there is a natural or a miraculous explanation,” said Father Leo Palm, who was sent to investigate the statue by the bishop of Liege.
