prayer vigil in front of what they believe to be a vision of the
Virgin Mary which has "miraculously" appeared on one of the building's
windows.
More than 100 worshipers, some from hundreds of miles away, have
converged on the Sime Darby Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur, after the
vision appeared a few days ago.
The group, who are convinced that the mysterious mark on the seventh
floor window represents the much revered mother of Jesus Christ, said
that they can also see a second image of her son two windows away.
Visitors have been lighting candles praying and singing hymns close to
the image which has gone viral on Facebook. It has been described by
some on the scene as a "miracle."
Father Lawrence Andrew, editor of Malaysian Catholic newsletter, The
Herald, said that the church would need to investigate and verify the
authenticity of the images and "the experiences of the witnesses."
"It could be private revelations. We have to make sure they are not
imagined but real apparitions," he said.
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."
The 54-year-old housewife dismissed claims the image could be a hoax.
The hospital have yet to comment on the vision.
