For days, the faithful have been coming.
Hundreds have walked the steps to suite 315 of Evergreen Apartments in Surrey, wanting to see for themselves the miracle.
To the non-believer, it might appear that an oily substance is dripping from an interior wall.

“She said somebody touched her here, and said ‘just look on the wall’. After she looked on the wall…the oil came.”
The Alyais have lived in the apartment for three years, and say this has never happened before.
Word has spread across Metro Vancouver, with several people entering the apartment to collect the oil and pray while Global News spoke to the Alyais family today.
