Crowds have been gathering near a church in Artesia the past few days after an unusual stain that bears a resemblance to the Virgin Mary appeared on a sidewalk on Wednesday — the same day Catholics celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The image was spotted on the 1800 block of Clarkdale Avenue by parishioners returning to their car of from an early morning mass at the Holy Family Catholic Church in celebration of the feast day, according to Father John Cordero, the church's pastor.
On the first day, the image was contained within a puddle that never fully evaporated despite bright, sunny weather, Cordero said.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is the title given to a series of appearances the Virgin Mary is believed to have made to a peasant in Mexico...

Kooks. Mary is dead. Has been for 2000 years about. It is stupid to pray to her. She is dead. She is a sinner. She doesn't hear your prayers. The is another example of Catholic idolatry. What a bunch of idiots.

Her body is dead, but her soul lives on, that's the way it works for everyone. McCain & Poppy Bush are in hell, but Mary is in heaven.
So, yes you CAN pray to her and she will hear you.

Wrong. She is dead. There has been NO RESSURECTION of the dead yet.
It is a sin to pray to a dead sinner named Mary. She also is no longer a virgin.
You pray to Jesus. Not a sinner.
Nothing against Mary, she was a good person. She isn't God and she doesn't hear prayers.
Only cults pray to Mary.
