Our Lady of Tears in Syracuse, Italy

The 102-meter-high spire of the Basilica Santuario Madonna delle Lacrime is the city's most prominent landmark. ・ The church houses a statue of the Virgin Mary, which is said to have shed tears for four days in 1953, miraculously healing over 300 people. The weeping statue is known as the 'Madonna of Tears' (Madonna delle Lacrime) in Italian and is enshrined in the Basilica Santuario Madonna delle Lacrime. ・ The spire's design is very impressive when viewed from inside the church. It is said to be modeled after the shape of a tear.
