As a non-profit volunteer organization, the Marian Foundation is made up of volunteers whom believe that the telling and retelling of miraculous events increases through devotion to Jesus. The foundation believes that the statue weeps not only for the son of Mary but for all children. As such, the foundation is dedicated to preserving The Seton Miracles and other stories of religious miracles which have taken place over time.
The Marian foundation has released a publication which provides detailed information and colorful pictures of the weeping statues. In addition, there is a discussion related to other statues which have been known to weep. In the final chapters, there exist a rebuttal directed at skeptics and other non-believers.
The last release by the foundation is a DVD which provides eyewitness accounts with regards to the weeping Madonnas. Individuals looking to share the stories of the statues might find the note cards which offer a full color statue on one side and a summary of the weeping statues on the other. Whether purchasing a book, DVD or gift cards, owners often get detailed information on each statue along with beautiful art work.
As with all things supernatural, there are a number of people whom have attempted to debunk or dismiss the stories of the statues as nothing more than a hoax. In some cases, skeptics believe the statues were made with the ability to shed tears so when an owner adds water to the statue it comes out the eyes. Although, those whom have experienced not only the miracle but an apparition of the Mother Mary, have no doubt that these weeping statues are the real.
In Japan, there is one statue, Our Lady Of Akita, whom has been reported to weep. While this is the case, other locations seem to host statues of the Mother Mary. At the same time, the people of Japan can now watch the tears of the Virgin Mary on television. In either case, it is interesting to note that a number of statues around the world have been rumored to weep.
With all the other scandals going on with regards to the Catholic Church, the church has been extremely careful in responding to the reports of these weeping statues. In fact, the church has set very high standards with regards to which stories are believable. For, there have been associated hoax as is the case in Messina, Sicily where the statue of Pio of Pietrelcina bled tears which later proved to the tears of a local woman which proved the incident to be nothing more than a hoax.
Most skeptics suggest that it is not difficult to make a statue weep. In fact, it is often as simple as making a doll which can cry and weep. In fact, skeptics actually sell "do it yourself weeping statue kits" at a number of conferences and festivals. While skeptics have provided examples of some weeping statues, there are many others in which no such proof has been provided.
Most skeptics and rationalists have dismissed the weeping statues as being fake. While this is the case, there are others whom have seen at least one, if not all statues weep at one time or another. Even so, skeptics still suggest that those whom make the statues and those whom believe any statue can weep, could very well be going insane.
