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”.
