A Teardrop Explodes

The Church of Sanctuary of Our Lady of Tears, Syracuse, Sicily, built to honour of a local miracle in 1953, a weeping statue. It was completed in 1994 but took 28 years to build due to opposition to the design. As suggested by the title, I think the design was almost certainly based on an interpretation of an exploding teardrop.
