Virgin Mary statue 'emanates water' in Argentina, drawing believers

In San Patricio, Misiones, Argentina, a family reports a seemingly miraculous event: a statue of the Virgin Mary and two angel figures are continuously emitting water. Rosa Moreno, the homeowner, stated the phenomenon began on August 3rd when she returned home to find the floor wet and the statue's base covered in liquid, despite an empty container.

After cleaning, the emission recurred the next morning, this time appearing to flow from the angel figures. What started as a private occurrence has drawn dozens of believers from nearby towns like San Ignacio and Ayolas, who visit the home to pray and collect some of the water. Moreno initially felt fear but contacted her husband and local priest, Rodrigo Benítez, who blessed the home and described the event as a "blessing."

It is an extraordinary event because it is not common for water to spring from clay images or plastic bottles.

Father Benítez called the situation "extraordinary" and confirmed it is generating significant attention among residents. While he cannot declare it a miracle, he urged people to approach the event with faith and prayer, emphasizing that healing comes from God. Approximately 100 liters of clear liquid have been collected, and the statues show no signs of damage. The priest has submitted a report to the bishopric, and laboratory analysis will be conducted to determine the liquid's composition.

I am not the competent person to declare a miracle, but we urge people to assume this with faith, prayer, and sanity, remembering that healing comes from God and not from a magical act.
