A picture of the Virgin Mary at the Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church in Sacramento, CA. People have been flocking to the "crying" Virgin since the stains were first noticed. My spouse, who is a minister, and I were watching this story on tv and he almost immediately said, "Rust stains." That sounds like a very plausible explanation. No doubt many others think it signifies the end of the world or the coming of Christ or something like that. I wonder what made her cry. Maybe all of the people who make bad choices.
