Confusion in text

[edit]

The text seems to say that the image was successfully removed ("With the application of a lead polish, the glass allegedly became transparent and the image had disappeared"), as does the source, but the overall impression and the 2011 photograph seem to affirm that it still exists. Was it removed the last time but came back again or was it partially removed and then stopped before removing the entire image? Does anyone know what year the Commission investigated and reported? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:50, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Randy - this was honestly a question I had as well and one that was in the back of my head. I did wonder if they stopped removing the image and kept most of it intact, or if the image re-appeared on its own after that. I'll do more research as I agree it is a point of confusion here. I would also have to assume that the investigation was done around the same time of the miracle in 1797. That Coptic Guy (let's talk?) 01:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks That Coptic Guy, a nice mystery (and page). Randy Kryn (talk) 06:24, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That Coptic Guy I was confused by that too. I wasn't able to find anything that could clear up the confusion though. It seems that the image has returned despite the removal, but I can't be sure without a source. Scorpions13256 (talk) 17:56, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
