Neighborhood Virgin Mary ? By Mark J.

Clearwater Florida

In Clearwater Florida, just a few minutes from my residence, and down the block from my business, is what some have called a miracle. This likeness of the Virgin Mary mysteriously appeared on the reflection of this office building. The reflection has baffled many a scientist and, when it first appeared scores of people (over 300,00) came to visit and pray in front of the building. In fact, the reflection has withstood all weather conditions and remains a permanent reflection on the building. The building was sold to a religious organization which now uses it as it's headquarters.

Did you know a kid shot a slingshot through it a couple of months ago?

Wow. Brings back grand memories. I used to live in New Port Richey, and I used to see this everyday while driving down 19. Thanks for the reminder!

Nice. Great capture of its color, and great background story. Good to see people put their 'faith' into pictures.

Seriously Ann... they still don't know how it got there or, why it won't come off. It's not caused or affected by weather and, it's not a mixture of oils and water as some though. Very weird.

Seriously? It sounds like an urban myth to me... Great picture though. Ann
