Virgin Mary Seen In Texas Grocery Store Freezer
More articles on this topic: (CBS) MORTON, Texas — We’ve seen the image of “Jesus” on toast. Even the “Virgin Mary” on a tree.
But folks in the small West Texas town of Morton say they’ve seen the “Holy Mother” made of ice inside a freezer at the local grocery store.
It started as one drip from the ceiling of a freezer at Morton Thrifty Foods grocery store. Now it has become quite the sanctuary for a lot of Catholic believers.
“I wanted to cry when I saw it,” said Stephan Santos, who was visiting the ice formation. “My mom has all saints in her house. But this one just got to me.”
Store employee Alma Avalos first spotted the formation in the back freezer of her store, noticing what had been a few drops of water from the ceiling that had frozen.
“I went in there, and it started forming like some kind of ice, and then Friday I went in there, and it was shaped like that,” Avalos said.
As more and more people heard about the “Virgin Mary,” they started coming in droves to see her, and the grocery store moved her into a freezer in the frozen foods section.
Some have had their prayers answered after visiting the ice statue.
“I had a lump in my breast, and yesterday, when I went home, it disappeared. I don’t have it no more,” said one woman.
