Our Lady of Tears (Portuguese: Nossa Senhora das Lágrimas) is one of the Marian invocations attributed to the Virgin Mary.

The apparitions appeared in the chapel of the convent of the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of Jesus Crucified, located in the city of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil.

[8] Both the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ appeared several times to Sister Amalia, communicating many messages to her with calls for prayer, sacrifice and penance.

On March 8, 1931, Monsignor Francisco de Campos Barreto, Bishop of Campinas, recognized the veracity of the phenomena of stigmata and the apparitions received by Sister Amalia.

[5] In 1935, the Crown of Our Lady of Tears received more authorizations for its dissemination: by Archbishop John Robert Roach of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota (United States); bishop Michael James Gallagher of the Diocese of Detroit, Michigan (United States); the diocesan censor in Sopron (Hungary); Bishop Stephanus Breyer of the Diocese of Győr (Hungary); and also by Vicar General Ferdinand Buchwieser of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising (Germany).
