The Catholic hospital removed the window after the crush of visitors caused traffic problems. It's storing the window at a secret location.
| It should be broken while in storage..that would solve the problem on what to do-- Quote:
Engineers say the image appeared when a failed rubber seal allowed mineral deposits between panes of glass.
But hospital officials say that doesn't explain why the deposits resemble the Virgin Mary.
| It resembles Mary because that's what people WANT it to resemble..because they have no CLUE what Mary looked like..

Leave it alone- it will help business. They are a hospital, and it will make plenty of us sick to our stomachs...

How long does it typically take for the experts to determine the worthiness for veneration?
