A Canadian city is ordering a woman to remove a Virgin Mary statue -- purported to weep at night -- because it is drawing too many visitors.

Officials in Windsor, Ontario, said there have been numerous complaints from neighbors about large groups of people coming to their area and parking on their street to get a glimpse of the 5-foot statue, which owner Fadia Ibrahim said smiles during the day and weeps healing oil at night, the Windsor Star reported Tuesday.

The Star said more than 100 people stopped to visit the statue Monday night.

Windsor's building department cited building-code violations in issuing Ibrahim an order to remove the statue by Nov. 19.

Ibrahim said she is considering moving the statue to a church.
