This finely crafted holy water font, made from marble dust, includes a beautifully hand-painted image of Our Lady of Tears. The devotion to Our Lady of Tears originates from a miraculous event in Syracuse, Italy, in 1953, when a small plaster image of the Virgin Mary began to shed tears. This miracle was thoroughly investigated and confirmed by the Church, leading to widespread veneration of the Madonna delle Lacrime, who is seen as a symbol of comfort and compassion for those in sorrow. Perfect for any prayer or devotional space.
