The Marian Foundation And The Seton Miracles

By Amanda Murphy


Whether at a cathedral in Washington D. C. Or other locations, there have been a number of reports with regards to statues which appear to be weeping. While this is the case, the Marian Foundation believes that when followers of Jesus accept the miracle as true, events increase in occurrence over time. In order to prove past experiences, the Seton Miracles have documented these and other stories of religious miracles throughout history.

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 spiritual or religious, there are often skeptics whom suggest the weeping statues are nothing more than a hoax. While this is the case, there are others whom claim not only to have seen a weeping statue but apparitions of the Mother Mary as well. In either case, the foundation has tried to confirm the weeping statues before sharing any stories about these incident with others.

While the weeping statue of Our Lady Of Akita in Japan, most often the weeping occurs with regards to statues of Mother Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus. Unlike other locations where these so-called Seton miracles occurred, the people of Japan were able to watch the tears of the Virgin Mary on national television.

With the present day scandals going on in the Catholic church, the church has been careful not to acknowledge any story which could be a hoax. In doing so, the church has set very high standards by which to measure fact from fiction. After which, individuals can move forward either with or without proof knowing that at least some questions as to the authenticity of these statues has been answered.

When it comes to hoaxes, there are most likely far more practical jokes and pranks than there are authentic statues whom shed tears. Whether made of blood or water, skeptics suggest anyone can make a doll or mannequin whom can be made to release tears. Whereas, eyewitnesses suggest having seen these statues weep, along with apparitions of the Mother Mary.

Like skeptics, rationalists have also dismissed the statues as being fake in order to create a purely psychological phenomenon. In fact, many believe the eye witnesses whom have viewed the statues first hand as insane, or are participating as part of a larger group of believers which in an altered state can believe almost anything to be true.
