Question
This action helped hunters track the Pennsylvania cryptid, the squonk. Both the Lithuanian goddess Jurate (“YOO-rah-tay”) and the Greek Heliades in the form of poplar trees perform this action to produce amber. Despite being turned into a rock by Zeus, Niobe continued to perform this action. A frequent Marian apparition hoax alleges that statues perform this action with blood. While disguised as the giantess Thökk, Loki refused to perform this action, causing Baldr to be trapped in Hel. A spirit named for this action drowned her children in a river, but still searches for them in orphanages across Latin America. For 10 points, La Llorona (“la yoh-ROH-nuh”) is named for performing what act of mourning? ■END■
ANSWER: crying [accept weeping or sobbing; accept llorar or llorando or La Llorona until read, prompt after; accept answers that mention tears such as shedding a tear] (The squonk would cry profusely and hunters would follow the tears.)
