AUGUST 31, 2004 - In this area of South Texas where the Virgin Mary is taken very, very seriously, any reported apparitions become centers of attraction.
Now a Valley man claims he's seen the Virgin Mary on a balloon! Yes a balloon.
Javier Fuentes, a salesman a Payne Weslaco Motors, says he was out to sell new cars Tuesday morning until his day "blew up" into something else.
"Everybody was blowing some balloons and we noticed that this image came from the balloon," said Fuentes. "And everybody was agreeing that it looked like the Virgin Mary."
On closer inspection, Fuentes says he noted that the image was more than just a possible defect on a balloon.
"That's what I thought in the beginning and I tried to erase it and I couldn't. I even tried to put some saliva on it and it didn't go away."
And some of his co-workers at the dealership say they were moved to tears after seeing the image.
"I got the chills, and I've had the chills on and off," said Margaret Cavazos.
