Amid the ice and snow of winter, Pequabuck residents found a sign that has warmed their hearts.

What started as an ice flow has slowly formed into what residents are seeing as the Virgin Mary.

Randy Blanchette, the man who spotted Mother Mary, brought it to the attention of his kids and neighbors.

“At first it just looked like a waterfall. As the days went on it started to melt and form the Virgin Mary,” Blanchette said.

The ice formation sits between two windows on Blanchette’s neighbor’s roof, and due to the warmer weather has been getting smaller each day.

“It’s so awesome. It changes minute by minute,” Blanchette said, later adding, “I think it’s a natural phenomenon.”

Blanchette pointed out the veil he sees covering Mary, and how it resembles the statue they put into bathtubs.

“It looks like Virgin Mary, plain and simple,” he said.

Jayden and Zacherie Blanchette, Randy’s daughter and son, said they also see the Virgin Mary.

“It’s Mother Mary,” said Jayden.

Jayden is an altar girl at the Immaculate Conception Church in Terryville, and Zacherie will soon be receiving his first communion.

“We are religious,” said Blanchette, who asked that the street featuring the Virgin Mary not be identified.

The story would end tragically, according to NBC News, when the Virgin Mary later plummeted to her death from atop of the roof:

But change it did, and the ice version succumbed to Thursday’s thaw and fell off the roof, Blanchette told the Press on Thursday.

Did she really fall, or was she pushed? Could it be that she succumbed to temptation (Matthew 4:6-7)?

Well, what I see in this picture is the falling icy chillin’ effects of the economy, and if you look closely, you can see the back of Barak Hussein Obama praying for a thaw.

It looks like a bunch of Ice to me.

The Virgin Mary should get a patent on that shape, she could really cash in!

[PetroniusMaximus]

That Mary really gets around!

[JaguarXKE]

She has come to warn us about Global Warming!

Rorschach (ink blot doctor) would have a field day with this guy.

There was also an FR article today about crying Mary pictures in New Delhi.

What if the pictures are crying because this ice sculpture is melting?

“That Mary really gets around!”

Being a virgin, and all, too!

I see a picture of a soon to be very expensive roof leak ...

[Responsibility2nd]

He sees a Virgin Mary in that?

 

All Righty Then.

 

First thing I thought of when I saw that photo was this....

It does not bode well when Mary appears to us, in any form.

As the days went on it started to melt and form the Virgin Mary,” Blanchette said.

No. It didn't. Seek help.

[katana]

Marie: "Oh my God, I'm a lesbian!" Not to mention the pair of nuns who couldn't accept the sculpture for the church raffle and Frank's odd fascination with it ("Holy Crap!)

Classic episode.

Are we talking about a "choose the form of the destructor" level of "does not bode well"?

[Zuriel]

Plain and simple: the Power of suggestion.

Repeatedly seeing paintings and statues is going to condition the mind.

People that love horses, see horse likenesses.
People that love dogs, see dog likenesses.

Pilots develop a natural habit of looking a terrain that appears to be suitable for landing an aircraft in an emergency.

People see what they want to see.

“Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed”.

Every individual chooses his/her own destruction mechanism.

It is possible that some parties who have witnessed the destruction of their loved family may chose to bear silent witness to the destruction of the murderers descendants.
