We had the article last week<\/a><\/span> on a Bible in Dalton, Georgia, from which “gallons” of oil have emanated. A very interesting case, that. We’ll have a personal report soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

In New Mexico is a statue of the Guadalupe Virgin that also has exuded oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And here now let’s explore, from the domain of evangelical brethren, claims of not only similarly oiling objects, but phenomena known also to Catholics in the way of mysterious stones, glitter, and “gold” dust — which was seen to occur around Venezuelan mystic Maria Esperanza and others (at Fatima, a glitter fell, but vanished before hitting the ground).<\/span><\/p>\n

Rough-cut diamonds fall from a Bible — along with “copious amounts” of oil that smells like myrrh? We are of two minds about such things.<\/span><\/p>\n
