The doctor was contacted and notified the family that something had happened and there was now absolutely no need for surgery. A cross of light appears nightly in the window of Maria Ruiz' home in Baldwin Park near Los Angeles. Ruiz first noticed the cross during a power cut when she stood in her darkened bathroom and saw the bright yellow shape formed by a light above a nearby freeway. Ruiz had lived in the apartment for seven months without seeing anything unusual. A steady stream of neighbors and relatives now visit her bathroom to take a look at the cross.
Some visitors cry, pray and kneel on the floor when they see the image.
But now she's not so sure. It is weird. She had never seen the image before in the 17 years she had lived in the house in Montclair, Southern California. Noriega opened and closed the window, wondering if the cross would go away. But the cross remained.
