A viral video from a parish in Jaliscoin Mexico, portrays a statue of Christ who 'weeps' at a priest's funeral.

The faithful of the parish of Our Lady of the Refuge, Guzman City, claimed to have seen the statue cry at their priest's funeral. The church confirmed the cleric's death in a Facebook post.

“The death of Father Heriberto López Barajas has been communicated to the entire parish community of Our Lady of Refuge. We pray for him and for his family. His farewell will be tomorrow, Saturday, at the mass, at 16:30, presided over by Bishop Oscar Armando Campos Contreras ”, reads the post on Facebook.

However, parishioners told local television that the image of Christ wept during the burial of Father Heriberto.

In the video above the interview with a parishioner who discovered the weeping statue.

“I approached the Lord of Miracles to ask him to send me my knee relief. I turned to see her face so that she could see me and I see the tears flowing from her eyes ”.

Then he explains why he believes Christ wept.

“I was left with the impression of that miracle that I saw in his eyes, sad because our father, the priest, has left us. But he tells us with his tears that he is with us ».
