Miracles

First it was that magical Jesus-on-a-tortilla in Lake Arthur New Mexico, and now this:
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- A steady stream of the faithful and the curious, many carrying flowers and candles, have flocked to an expressway underpass for a view of a yellow and white stain on a concrete wall that some believe is an 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 agency does not plan to scrub it off the wall. "We're treating this just like we treat any type of roadside memorial," said IDOT spokesman Mike Claffey. "We have no plans to clean this site."
