ORLANDO, Fla. -- Some believe a marble statue of the Virgin Mary in Florida has shed a black tear.
An antique dealer in Orlando received the marble artwork weeks ago from overseas.
But the company manager said the tear was just recently noticed, and it appears to be coming from inside of the statue.
The Orlando Catholic Diocese plans to examine the statue.
Some residents have visited the store to ask for private prayers.
The owners have decided not to sell the statue.
