Hundreds flock to see Paris ‘miracle’

HUNDREDS of people have been flocking to a house in a Paris suburb over recent weeks to see an icon of the Virgin Mary “shed tears of oil”, according to the owner.

Esat Altindagoglu said the tears began flowing from the icon hanging in the hallway of his house in Garges-les-Gonesse on February 12 and that some 50 people have been showing up at his door daily since word spread of the “miracle”.

“It’s a small miracle,” he said. “This is a message sent by the Virgin and her son.”
