CHICAGO, Illinois – Some worshipers see a sign from God after a caretaker at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago saw what looked like tears pouring from the Virgin Mary’s eyes.

The caretaker noticed the shocking sight early Sunday morning, as she prepared for what could be one of the church’s final services.

The church faces foreclosure and is due to go to bankruptcy court Tuesday morning. The community was in shock at the weeping icon.

This is an Orthodox Church at that. Feel free to move it. I thought it pertinent. Maybe posted elsewhere even.

The church was sold to the Universal Life Church (best known for ordaining ministers by mail order) for 2.5 million today.
Hope the Orthodox can take Weeping Mary to their new building with them.
