The weeping Virgin of Rockingham appears to have joined the long list of
fakes that have plagued Christendom since splinters of the "true cross"
carved out a market in the Middle Ages.

A scientific examination of the fibreglass statue, which has enthralled
thousands of the faithful at the industrial suburb south of Perth since
rose-scented "tears" appeared in March, has shown that the source is a
secret cavity.
