The Virgin Mary has jumped from grilled cheese sandwiches to a vacant hospital

[Bluebear]

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Hundreds of people are being drawn to a Catholic hospital in Springfield by what they say looks like an image of the Virgin Mary in a window. Sister Kathleen Sullivan, senior vice president at Mercy Medical Center, said the image in a vacant, second-story office was first noticed Tuesday morning.

As many as 300 people, many weeping, some wailing, gathered outside the building to take photographs, pray, and say the rosary.

Sullivan said while the cause of the image was not immediately clear, she was humbled by the show of faith. A spokesman for the Springfield Diocese said it could take the church years to investigate.

Deirdre Gogel, who came to see the image, called it comforting at a time of turmoil for the nation.

11. It took me about 2 minutes...

to figure out I was looking at a dog's butt! What can I say? Thanks for posting that... no really thanks...

That being said - in the spirit of window stain Marys and dog butt images of the Saviour I must say I am really looking forward to see Bill Maher's new movie Religulous. I wonder if any mention of of absurd phenomenon like this will be mentioned in the film.

36. I agree

I mean, I think I see a couple boobs in there somewhere, but that probably has more to do with me being a guy.

10. To me, it doesn't look like the Virgin Mary...

She does seem to be 'blessed' in one department, however. ;)

20. It's a Rainbow Mary! (Look at the colors)

It's a sign that Prop 8 will go down to defeat in California and gay marriage will eventually be the law of the land. :)

Weird. Definitely not an icon.
