Underpass Virgin : No Wonder She Weeps


An icon of the Virgin Mary has appeared under the Kennedy Expressway, which is definitely cryptic but certainly popular.

For those who, like me, have incredible trouble deciphering the supernatural appearance, I have put together a viewing guide from the above AP photo which I think most clearly portrays the thing (and I swear to the Blessed Mother that I haven't altered the image in anyway):


But wait! There's something else going on here. To the right of the Virgin Mary is a cartoon bubble, so to speak:

I saw more recent pictures of the stain and someone put a picture of the pope where the "Go Cubs" part is.

The "Go Cubs" is back, the rest of the icon, gone.

Okay so there's another update--the virgin was painted over in brown paint, but someone removed the shape of her (I saw this with my own eyes on Sun.) so she is back, surrounded by brown.

Very funny. Here in Brazil, some people once saw the virgin in a smudge window glass.

She's everywhere, doesn't she? :]
