Miraculous water discovered in Chinese church Miraculous water reportedly flowed from a cross on a church spire in Sanban village, near Guigang city in southwestern China. The fluid was tasteless and did not flow every day, said the diocesan bishop, Joseph Meng Ziwen. On 7 October 2000, the day of the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, a reddish-brown, water-like fluid began flowing from the base of the cross erected on the church spire. The water was discovered by a parishioner who was drying herbs in front of the church property and found the herbs wet. The region had had no rain for months, and there is no water pipe on the church towers. Father Simon Huang Qingeai, priest of a nearby parish, has led pilgrimages to the church, and witnessed the flowing fluid. He said the liquid flowed for about 20 days beginning on 7 October and for 20 more days after Epiphany on 6 January 2001. A lay person took samples of the fluid for laboratory tests. An initial report stated that the fluid contained red and white blood cells. Father Huang said an elderly relative who suffered from stomach cancer claimed that the pain disappeared after he drank the fluid. News of the miraculous water has drawn thousands of people to the church.
