This footage purports to show the statue of Holy Mary in a church oozing honey, with believers saying it is a sign from the Almighty.

The archdiocese of Sao Jose do Rio Preto, in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, is investigating the statue of Our Lady of Fatima - a Catholic title of Mary - with the footage showing it apparently oozing honey.

Popularly known as Our Lady of Honey, the image was purchased by Lilian Aparecida Montemor, a resident of Mirassol, Sao Paulo, in 1991.

In March 1993, one of Lilian's employees noticed that the icon was wet and shedding tears.

It then reportedly began to ooze salt, honey, and olive oil, and has been gushing honey continuously for over three decades.

The phenomenon is currently considered inexplicable by modern science, according to reports, with the archdioceses investigating the incident.

The religious authorities will now collect samples of the liquids allegedly spilt by the statue to analyse them and determine the chemical composition.

They will also observe acts of veneration and prayers performed by the faithful to determine whether they follow Catholic doctrine.
