I’m in a hurry but one word about this: this image does not pray. If someone thinks this image prays, that person is superstitious. This is against the First Commandment,
Wow ---
But there does appear to be quite a bit of superstition associated with the image.
The image is a pious, religious fraud as for all the various trappings associated with it. Marianism in nutshell? A prime example of just what and how things go wrong -- and since the RCC gained upper, exploitative hand in regards to all the false narrative and superstition which is associated with the image ---- they either cannot or will not pull themselves back from the brink, punishing all those whom would assist themselves in accepting the truth.
