Another One of the Those "Mary" Stories

It looks like we've got another one of those "Virgin Mary in a burrito" stories, this time from Sacramento:
Carrying rosary beads and cameras, the faithful have been coming in a steady stream to a church on the outskirts of Sacramento for a glimpse of what some are calling a miracle: A statue of the Virgin Mary they say has begun crying a substance that looks like blood.

It was first noticed more than a week ago, when a priest at the Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church spotted a stain on the statue's face and wiped it away. Before Mass on Nov. 20, people again noticed a reddish substance near the eyes of the white concrete statue outside the small church, said Ky Truong, 56, a parishioner.
I'm always surprised at how people flock to these things. The desperation to see some type of physical miracle is so strong in some folks, they're willing to jump at anything.
