On yahoo news there is a piece of chocolate that mexicans think is the virgin Mary. Why do they worship her anyway?(Jesus is the savior not Mary even though she played a big part)

While your questioned amused the hell out of me, I'm going to give a serious answer.
I'm not at all a religious person, but I believe that the Mexican people, as a whole, are extremely religious, and most Mexicans absolutely adore the Virgin Mary. So I think their strong religious beliefs, coupled with some odd coincidences, they see the Virgin Mary often.
But it's not just the Virgin Mary they see. There's a lot of other sightings of Saints and the like within the Mexican community.

Thank you, I'm a mexican and I do not see the Virgin Mary everywhere, but I do worship her, I am catholic and I believe that she appeared as the Virgin of Guadalupe and every appearence that the Vatican says is real. I you are catholic, you worship her. If you're not, you just don't understand. I'm smart and very well educated. So don't think that because people believe things that you don't, they must be dumb.

It's most Catholics, not just Mexicans.
The Virgin Mary was a saint. She was the woman who gave birth to JESUS for crying out loud!

Holy Mary is the Mother of our Lord and savior, if that's what you believe in. How much do you love and respect your mother. Obviously not that much. The Hispanic community see her because they are strong in their faith and in what they believe. We also have stronger family bonds,stronger than you will ever know. So Sad for you

Yea, I have often wondered that myself. I mean doens't the bible say that nobody goes to heave except by me? (meaning Jesus) I don't know it is weird to me too. People are so superstitious that they often think they see things but their minds play tricks on them. I think it is a form of hysteria.

chocolate, toast, a bagel, a rock, a large piece of concrete slab (throw a paper tablecloth over that slab and have a picnic, geesh).
