From August 29 to September 1, 1953, a statue of the Virgin in Syracuse, S. Lucia, shed tears at regular intervals, just like human tears. So in 1966, such a church of Our Lady of Tears was built here to commemorate her. The shape of the church is very eye-catching, standing on the ground like a wizard's high hat. The statue of the Virgin is now placed in the middle of the basilica, surrounded by golden conditions, with walls and flowerbeds of precious marble. The statue of the Virgin wears a crown, which is solemn and noble. The statue of the Virgin is not fixed on display because of its preciousness, but her tears are still sealed in the church for viewing.

Unique building with very nice exhibits inside
The Church of Our Lady of Tears, elegant and generous, makes people intoxicated.
The appearance of this church is very eye-catching, it is triangular, like the shape of the Egyptian pyramid, the inner tearful statue of the Virgin has not been displayed, can not see its true appearance, it is a pity!
It is very different from the traditional Italian church, famous for the tearful Virgin
The modern church is famous locally, and it is said that it was decided to build it because it was discovered in 1953 that the statue of the Virgin in a person's home shed tears, and it was indeed a human component after analysis.
