The Risen Christ in Medjugorje is a bronze/copper statue depicting Christ with his arms raised in triumph. On any given day, pilgrims can be seen lining up to get close to the statue, some with handkerchiefs in their hands, wiping a “liquid” that is oozing from just below the right knee. This phenomenon occurs in all kinds of weather, but the speed of the oozing varies. Sometimes it takes a few minutes before a single drop comes out, but at other times the dripping is faster. Many pilgrims treat this liquid as a miraculous substance, and claims of healing have been made. This video was taken this morning 13/01/25.
Heavy rain overnight in Lourdes has raised the water level of the river Gave, hopefully it won’t cause any flooding in the Grotto area 🙏
