Viral video of religious figure in Mexico City

Overview

A video recorded during a religious service at the Parroquia de la Asunción Sagrario Metropolitano in Mexico City’s Historic Center has gained significant attention on social media. The footage shows a religious figure of the Ánima Sola, representing souls in purgatory, appearing to move its mouth while a woman recites praises.

Public reaction to the video is divided. Some viewers interpret the movement as a “supernatural manifestation or a miracle,” while others suggest the phenomenon is an optical illusion resulting from lighting, camera angles, or reflections on the glass display case protecting the figure. No official explanation for the observed movement has been confirmed.
