Virgin Mary Appears in Springfield

Massachusetts Local News reports that the Virgin Mary has been seen in Springfield, Mass.

The apparition was seen in the window of a vacant office in Mercy Medical Center office on Stafford Street. As many as 300 people at a time crowded to view the apparition, many chanting, singing or even crying.

One witness said she found it comforting that the Virgin Mary should appear at a time of such upheaval in the US. A cynic might say that such times make people more prone to clutch at straws and give religious interpretations to a random pattern of light and shade.
