I'm still waiting for the sola scriptura crowd to come along and explain that since this isn't specifically mentioned in the Bible it couldn't be real and call us idolators.

It would not be unusual for this kind of miraculous sign to occur in that time frame. What Jesus would lament is people standing around fixating veneration on the sign. The bible doesn't report that kind of behavior with respect to any of His other miracles; the focus was all on Him.

Actually, Luther never had too much trouble with images as long as they weren't worshiped. Look at Lutheran churches with statues, glass and the like. Calvinists were the whitewashed walls crowd.
Luther was also very permissive about things that weren't mentioned in the Bible, since certainly it couldn't cover everything. It was the Puritans who took the "everything is prohibited unless specifically allowed" stance.
So only some of the "sola sciptura" crowd think you're idolaters. :)
