Susy Jimenez also claims she saw the figure as the Virgin Mary and said it was a miracle, writing: “Thanks Mother for protecting us, for interceding for God, and for your mercy for the people”.
Reports state the figure was also seen from the nearby town of Candelaria, San Carlos – said to be one of the oldest Jesuit towns in the province.
