On Jun 30, 2004, about 2,000 pilgrims including many from abroad came to Naju for the celebration of the 19th anniversary of the Blessed Mother's first weeping tears in Naju, Korea.

For the first time, the original statue of the Blessed Mother was carried to the Blessed Mother's mountain from the Chapel for the overnight prayer meeting. Fr. Andrew from Indonesia, Fr. Jerry Orbos from the Philippines and Fr. Francis Su from Malaysia concelebrated the Mass commemorating the 19th anniversary of the Blessed Mother's first weeping in Naju.

The Blessed Mother exuded fragrant oil giving off an intense fragrance of roses at the entrance to the Blessed Mother's mountain, on the paved areas in front of the 12th Station and on the altar near the statue of the risen Lord at the 15th Station.

One picture showed seven rays of light radiating from the Blessed Mother. We think that these signify Our Lady's seven joys and seven sorrows.
