[edit] Miraculous, growing "Stone of Paloway"

Virac Bishop Manolo A. De Los Santos of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) confirmed on June 13, 2008, the existence of a ‘miraculous’ "growing" century old stone (now 3 inches in height) in Paloway, San Andres, Catanduanes, Bicol Region which has the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary and is said to heal illnesses: “What is unexplainable is not that the stone grew in size over the years, but the fact that the image of the Virgin was never distorted as it grew." Called “Batong Paloway (Stone of Paloway)," it is at the altar of the Our Lady of Sorrows chapel, a “de facto shrine" in Barangay Paloway and the image is called “Our Lady of Sorrows."gmanews.tv, 'Miraculous' stone with image of Mary 'grows' in Bicol--Florentino floro (talk) 09:25, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
