Woman sees Virgin Mary in candle wax
ALHAMBRA, Calif., -- A California woman says her candle wax had melted into an image of what looked to her like the Virgin Mary when she finished praying the rosary.
Mari Valenzuela of Alhambra said she began saying the rosary on a nightly basis a few months ago but she never noticed anything unusual until she completed the prayer Dec. 4 and looked and the candle she had previously lit, KTLA-TV, Los Angeles, reported Wednesday.
Valenzuela said the 6-inch candle appears to have the image of the Virgin Mary kneeling and praying. She said her priest told her the image is a sign "she's on the right track" in her life.
Valenzuela said she is keeping the candle in her refrigerator to keep it from melting.
