Our Lady Of Blessed Underpass


Virgin Mary of the Underpass or Lot's Wife?Many of you have heard of this story. People are flocking to the Fullerton Avenue underpass of the Kennedy Expressway. They believe that a yellow and white smear on a wall is a divine image of the Virgin Mary.

"We believe it's a miracle," said Elbia Tello, 42. "We have faith, and we can see her face."

The stain is likely the result of salt run-off, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

The people who believe this is Mary don't know the bible. If the image is on a highway suppor pillar and is made of salt, then isn't it more likely an image of Lot's Wife?

Chicago as Soddom and Gomorrah, indeed!

Note: Look closely at the right side of the picture. I guess Lot's Wife is a Cubs' fan.
