The Science
On 1 September 1953 at 11:00 a.m., a commission of
doctors and analysts, sent by the Diocesan Chancery
of Syracuse, went to the Iannuso home and after
having dried the face of the image and after having
awaited that the phenomenon repeat itself, they
withdrew a cubic centimetre of the liquid that
flowed from the eyes of the image. Submitted to
microscopic analysis, the liquid resulted in having
traces of proteins and urates, and the same
substances as found in the tears of a child and an
adult. The response of science was “they are human
tears”. |
