TradCatKnight: AKITA: Crying Madonna statue beckons pilgrims from far and wideForeign pilgrims are flocking in their thousands to a remote Catholic convent chapel here in far northern Japan to see a statue of the Madonna that once shed tears. “We are often asked how to reach the Handmaids of the Eucharist,” said a staff member at the tourist information center in JR Akita Station. The wooden statue is said to have shed tears on 101 occasions, the last time being in 1981.
