Good Friday
April 6, 2007
Golden-color fragrant oil exuded from the Crucifix on the Blessed Mother’s
Mountain in Naju. When Julia touched Our Lord’s foot, her hand became wet
with the fragrant oil.
While Julia and other pilgrims were doing the Stations of the Cross on the
Blessed Mother’s Mountain in Naju, she suffered the extreme pains of the
Crown of Thorns, and blood streamed down from the top of Julia’s forehead
and stained her clothes. There also appeared a scourging mark on her ear.
Julia received some of the blood in her hand.
Despite her pains and weakness, Julia and many other pilgrims did the
Stations of the Cross barefoot.
Julia fell at the Ninth Station because of the pains of scourging.
At the
Twelfth Station, where Jesus died, the pilgrims prayed fervently and cried
loudly.
After finishing the Stations of the Cross, the pilgrims knelt and prayed
before the Crucifix on Mt. Calvary. Tiny drops of the Lord’s Precious
Blood came down like a light drizzle.

Myanmar) and Fr. Herman Ando from Indonesia examining the bleeding on
Julia’s forehead.
Bleeding continued for a while after the devotion of the Stations of the
Cross was finished. There also were many tiny blood stains on Julia’s
forehead as if sprayed with a sprayer.
