'Virgin Mary' appears in hospital window
Catholics are flocking to a Malaysian hospital where a vision of the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared in a window.
More than 100 worshippers, some from hundreds of miles away, have converged on the Sime Darby Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur.
The group are convinced that the "miraculous" mark on the seventh floor window represents the Virgin Mary, reports the Daily Mail.
And they claim that a second mark, on a nearby window, is the image of Jesus.
Eunice Fernandez, who lives nearby, said: "We believe Mary, mother of God, has a message for us, as she is looking down on us and then at a Malaysian flag.
"We can also see Jesus and he is also moving, they are not static."
Visitors have been lighting candles praying and singing hymns close to the image which has gone viral on Facebook.
Father Lawrence Andrew, editor of Malaysian Catholic newsletter The Herald, said the church would need to investigate and verify the authenticity of the images.
"It could be private revelations. We have to make sure they are not imagined but real apparitions," he said.

The same book that tells us about mary and jesus also tells us about lying signs and wonders that will deceive many.The same book also tells us that when christ returns it will be a rather bigger occasion than in a failed double glazing unit.

I wish religious types would make their minds up That sounds the same sort of big occasion as the return of the mayan god quetzaqotl(sp?), and norse god odin Will they all be arriving together or do they travel in seperate vehicles?

Isn't that a safety hazard? If all of these 'pilgrims' are clogging up the roads outside and around the hospital then doesn't that make it difficult for the patients?

Do they have health and safety in malaysia? Or can they just get on with their lives with out drawing up risk assesments and method statements
