In 1995 a phenomena occurred that could be said
to be paranormal;
a miracle which left national public opinion literally astounded
and which has set off number debates within the Italian and foreign
atholic environment and even caught the attention of the Holy Father.In
fact, on 2 February of that year, on the occasion of the Feast of
the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple and the Purification of
May, a small statue of the Madonna portraying the Queen of Peace
and coming from Medjugorie, started to cry blood tears in the garden
of a family living in the parish of S. Agostino at Civitavecchia.
Well, from that day until the 15th of March, the statue of the Madonna
cried for 14 times in the presence of many people who have given
sworn testimony in front of a Theological Commission, instituted
by the Bishop who held the statue in his hands the last time the
blood tears fell; here, having overcome any doubts, he paved the
way to official recognition. While these events were taking place,
there were numerous debates and open confrontations between those
who ascertained that it was an authentic miracle, and those animated
by skepticism who assumed that the incident was purely the fruit
of human and not Divine intervention.The statue was then scientifically
examined with positive results. There were no tricks or internal
hidden devices and the tears were human blood. Finally, after various
difficulties, on 17 June 1995 the Bishop placed that statue in a
display case situated in the Parish of S. Agostino and displayed
it for worship by the faithful. From that day on, there have been
considerable pilgrims, even worldwide, that have come to worship
the She who everyone now calls "The Madonna of Civitavecchia".
