Weeping Statues on Tour

Hundreds of people are expected to visit the images -- called Our Lady of Guadalupe and Jesus King of All Nations -- as they make the rounds of area churches, a Catholic high school and the Lehigh County Prison.
Our Lady of Guadalupe shows Mary as a young pregnant woman dressed in Aztec clothing. It is a replica of the original image said to have appeared on an Aztec prince's cloak in Mexico in 1531.
The second image shows Jesus with a scepter.
Miracles attributed to the images include tears of water, oil and blood appearing on Our Lady of Guadalupe and a perfume that exudes from the heart and wounds of Jesus.
The images travel the world. They arrived Wednesday at Saints Simon and Jude and will remain in the area until April eighth.
