Jesus Oozes

In India: Mumbaikars throng church as water oozes from cross.

Thousands of people thronged a south Mumbai church on Monday to see water oozing out a cross and to collect what they believed was holy water, though church officials shied away from giving the occurrence any name.

The St. Joseph Church in south Mumbai's Umerkhadi area is 72 years old and the cross beside it, from where the water is oozing out, is more than 150 years old.

Father Dominic Pereira, the head of St.Joseph Church in Umerkhadi, admitted that he also saw the water but said: "But I have absolutely no explanation for it."

It's not the first time for this miracle:

He recounted a similar incident in Vasai (Thane district) a few years ago, when water was seen oozing out of a large iron cross. Later, the cause was found to be simple - it was only some rainwater that had accumulated inside the cross.
