In the village of Pharmkas in May 2013, residents discovered that the image of Saint George in their church was weeping a liquid that smelled of myrrh. The bishop and scientists could not find a natural explanation. When they later carried the image in a litany, it was unusually heavy and took six men to hold. In February 1997, an image of the Virgin Mary at the Stavrovouni Monastery also started weeping. Thousands of people came to see the weeping image until it stopped in May. Both images were confirmed to have inexplicably wept supernatural liquids.
