There’s Jesus In Them Thar Hills

Burton Klatt was prospecting with his brother near Wikenburg, Arizona, when he found a funny looking small gold nugget. “I saw an image of a horse,” he says of the nugget that weighs less than an ounce and is smaller than a B-B. But when he brought it home, his wife Carole saw something different — the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. After keeping it to themselves for a year, they decided to share it with others. “I don’t see how anyone could think we’re nuts because they could look at it and they could see it,” Burton says, even though it does look a bit like a mother and child from the unreleased sequel, Saviour of the Planet of the Apes.

Hello? Is Mary There?

When 2-year-old Rachel Casiano of Hawthorne, FL, put her sneakers and her mother’s cell phone in the microwave, it was only a matter of seconds before Mom opened the door and put a stop to it. The sneakers were fine but it was too late for the cell phone. It was singed and had a bubble burned into the screen. The family noticed that it looks like the Virgin Mary. Jan Zuccarell, Rachel’s great-grandmother, thinks it’s a sign from God. Her son Ben wants to sell it on eBay. Hopefully if it rings they’ll answer it.

Mary On The Half Shell

About a year ago, Shirley McVane of Burbank, Illinois, received a gift from her grandson — two tiny baby turtles. Recently, she noticed that one of them had begun to develop what she believes to be an image of the Virgin Mary on the underside of its shell. She promptly renamed the turtle Mary, and of course its tank mate became Joseph. Hopefully there will be a baby turtle soon. I wonder what she’ll name it.

Son O’ Gram

When Laurna Turner of Worcestershire, England, saw the ultrasound of her unborn son, she noticed he was sucking his thumb. Then someone pointed out he was doing it underneath the face of Jesus. Laurna’s partner, Dave Meikle, said: “It’s fantastic. With a microscope it looks just like Jesus in a shroud.” They decided to give their son the biblical name Joshua and hand out magnifying glasses instead of cigars when he’s born.

Oh Sweet Mary!

When a worker at the Bodega Chocolates candy factory in Fountain Valley, CA, saw a pile of chocolate that had dripped from a vat, he realized it looked like the Virgin Mary. Our Lady of Guadalupe to be exact. Now people are flocking there to see the 2.5″ likeness which is being kept in a clear plastic case. How long will it last? Co-owner Martucci Angiano says, “I don’t know. We don’t do molded chocolate all that much.”

A Smokin’ Mary

When Veronica Dennis of Mexico, Maine removed a framed painting from her kitchen wall after a fire last January, she discovered the wall was blackened by smoke and fire…in the image of the Virgin Mary. She vowed she’d never sell the apparition but after being out of work for three months she changed her mind and the section of wall is on eBay with a starting bid of $2,500 and, with a few hours left, no takers. Smokin’!
