Around noontime on Maundy Thursday, April 13, a family in Carcar City, in southern Cebu said that blood is flowing from a laminated image of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. Late in the afternoon, he said the same phenomenon happened to a statue of Saint Veronica, whom Val Sandiego, the custodian of the statue says the statue is more than 130 years old.
According to Val, he and his family were on their way to Dumanjug Thursday morning when their house-help called and informed them that the statue was weeping blood.
“We were more than halfway when our maid called, telling us nga naghilak og dugo,” said Sandiego, a famous choreographer and art collector.
Prior to the incident, Sandiego noticed a scratch on the statue’s neck.
“I was really thinking ngano naa may scratch sa iyang neck… There must be a message for this Good Friday. It could be that we have to reflect this Holy Week,” he said.
The statue belongs to his great great grandparents, which according to pious tradition, Saint Veronica was the woman from Jerusalem who wiped the face of Jesus Christ during the Way of the Cross. She accompanied Jesus Christ to Calvary.
