This is the moment a famous 'crying statue' of the Virgin Mary is seen 'weeping' tears of blood for the 38th time.

People have flocked to the home of the Frias family in the town of Metan in the Salta province in northwestern Argentina to see the statue known as the Virgin of the Mystic Rose.

The statue made international headlines earlier this year when it was filmed seemingly weeping tears of blood and its owner Rosana Mendoza Frias has now recorded the apparent phenomenon happening again.

In the video, the statue can be seen with red liquid on its face seemingly coming from its eyes.

Rosana told local news outlet Informate Salta that the Virgin statue was brought to her house eight years ago after she suffered a miscarriage and the statue first started 'crying blood' in April 2017.

She says the statue has now cried on 38 different occasions and says the first time a photo was posted online of the apparent phenomenon she had "7,000 people outside out house" 10 hours later.

Rosana claims the most recent incident of the statue crying blood came as she was praying to it for her mother's health.

The statue of the Virgin of the Mystic Rose has been linked to several 'miracles', such as a woman who had a three-inch tumour which reportedly disappeared after she visited the statue.

Rosana said: "I always tell people that this depends on faith, not on us, as we do nothing, we only open our doors so that they can come here to pray, and through her God will perform a miracle."

The owner has reportedly built a designated space for the statue in her home with the help of others and her own money, creating a glass cabinet to protect it.

Around 30 people gather in front of the statue to pray from Monday to Friday, according to reports.

Earlier this year, a similar statue in Mexico was reported to have cried "tears of olive oil" according to Catholic church officials.
