"In Lys, He is the Weeping Lady, who sheds her tears for the living soon to die."

―Jaqen H'ghar

The Weeping Lady is a deity worshiped in Lys, one of the Free Cities in Essos. Hers is one of several religions and cults popular in the city.

She is depicted carrying a bowl filled by tears. Idols of the Weeping Lady trickle tears which fill the bowl. She sheds her tears for the living who are soon to die.

History

Game of Thrones: Season 5

Full view of the statue of the Weeping Lady: it holds a bowl in its hands, to collect the falling tears.

A statue of the Weeping Lady is among the idols present at the House of Black and White. The Faceless Men believe that the Weeping Lady is just one of the "faces" of the Many-Faced God.

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the statue of the Weeping Lady found in the House of Black and White is called the "Weeping Woman." It is made of marble and is 12 feet tall. It is commonly visited by old women.

The Lord of Light religion is the largest in Lys, though numerous other local cults exist in sizable numbers. Aside from the Weeping Lady, a local love goddess is also very popular - so much that it is printed on Lysene coins, naked and wanton. It isn't clear if the love goddess and the Weeping Lady are part of the same religion or are from separate cults.
