英语新闻视频:树干上的圣母玛利亚(在线收听) |
Some residents in West New York are calling it a miracle on 60th Street and Bergenline Avenue. A tree that some say resembles the Virgin Mary. And onlookers in the New Jersey city that lies just a few miles outside of Manhattan are finding hope and faith in the image that was discovered by a woman who was passing by. The site was enough to bring West New York resident Nelly Guerrero to tears. (SOUNDBITE) Nelly Guerrero, West New York resident, saying (Spanish): "I feel very emotional and very happy. This is a miracle that I think has come here to West New York 'cause. there's a lot of delinquents, many crimes. One cannot go out at night because this is terrible." Alfonso Montiel says the tree is only a product of nature, but people's faith is what gives the symbol meaning. (SOUNDBITE) Alfonso Montiel, West New York resident, saying (English): "I think it's the belief of people. It's not really, it's something like that. It's what people feel, the faith of people." But Mary Alnodovar insists that it's a miracle. (SOUNDBITE) Mary Alnodovar, West New York resident, saying: "I've been here for many years. I've never seen this before. And I always pass through here. Nothing happen like this. That's why I got surprised and I tell my friend, 'You got to go. You got to go and see.' It's not a lie. It's true what you see over there." Others believe that the symbol is a message sent from the Virgin Mary and people who pass by should not talk, but listen. Kilmeny Duchardt, Reuters. |
