Californians are dealing with devastation after their homes have been lost to the wildfires that ravaged the golden coast — but one family noticed something interesting when they went back to look at the charred remains.
Members of the Halpin family were blessed with a sign of hope when they saw that their statues of the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph miraculously survived the blazes.
“Our son-in-law snuck up the day after the fire and he took some pictures, so those were the first pictures we saw that really confirmed that the house was gone,” Jackie Halpin tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.”
“My daughter, his wife, said ‘Mom, look, look at the bottom of the picture,’ and there was the statue. And I’m not saying it was a miracle, but I’m saying it gave us so much hope that we were still protected and loved,” Jackie continues.
