PETALING JAYA - Christian faithful and curious onlookers have continued to flock to the Sime Darby Medical Centre (SDMC) to view the image of the Virgin Mary said to be visible on a seventh floor window pane.
Even a downpour yesterday afternoon could not dampen the fervour of those who had gathered to see the phenomenon for themselves.
The medical centre had reportedly planned to remove the glass pane over the weekend, but subsequent reports said a date had yet to be set.
The sighting of the Virgin Mary went viral as soon as it was first sighted on Oct 8.
Among the crowd of about 100 yesterday afternoon were curious passers-by, patients, and visitors to the hospital, some equipped with cameras, phones or tablets, to take photos.
The sound of hymns and prayers filled the air as some of the faithful burned candles or offered flowers in the area prepared by the hospital.
It has been said that the image can only be seen from the outside.
The access to the stairwell on the seventh floor is said to be closed to maintain order at the hospital.
It was reported that the panels will be removed and handed over to the Marian Church of our Lady of Lourdes Klang.
Subang Jaya's Church of St Thomas More parish priest Rev Fr Simon LaBrooy reportedly said on Saturday that the decision was made after consultation with the Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur, Tan Sri Rev Murphy Pakiam.
