Our Lady of Tears is a beloved title of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This devotion commemorates miraculous weeping statues and images of Mary reported at various locations throughout history, most notably at Syracuse, Sicily in 1953, when a plaster statue of the Immaculate Heart of Mary was observed to weep human tears. The phenomenon was investigated and authenticated by Church authorities, and the tears were found to be chemically identical to human tears.
These Our Lady of Tears medals, available in 14K gold, Sterling Silver, and Gold-Filled, honor Mary as invoked for conversion and reparation. Her feast day is varies. Wearing this medal invites Mary's intercession and protection—reminds us that Mary, who wept at the foot of the Cross, continues to weep for her children's sins and sufferings.
