Is His Bark Worse Than His Bite?

It started last Monday when Jim Holtz was on the way to a pawn shop. He looked across the street at the Hickey-Freeman Co. clothing factory and saw the image of Jesus on a silver maple tree. Now people are flocking to Rochester, NY, to check out the arboreal sighting. Many claim to see facial features, including the beard. One man says, “He looks like he’s sleeping.” Shhhh!

Flipping Over The Pope

Myrna Kincaid of Jackson, Michigan, was about to pour syrup on her pancake when she noticed an image burned on it — the image of the Pope. She and her husband spared it, stashed it in the freezer, and went to church. Three weeks to the day after finding the pan-fried pontiff they had a baby boy. They named him John and say he never cries. They currently have no plans to either sell or eat the pancake.

Who Were You Expecting, The Holy Spirit?

People in Chile are flocking to the Christo Rey de Tome Church in Santiago to see an image that appeared on a wall of the church five weeks ago, an image some say is the soon to be canonized Father Hurtado holding a child. As if the Catholic church hasn’t had enough problems with live priests and children.

The Virgin Vader

Dale in Ohio found a rock in his front yard in Chelsea, MI (?) and thought an image on it looked like the Virgin Mary. Or maybe Darth Vader. He says “I was so struck by the image I am not sure what to do.” So of course he decided to put it up for sale on eBay, but not before admitting “I honestly am feeling guilty for listing this gift.” So guilty he set the minimum bid at $1.00 and the shipping at a flat $50.00.

Barking Up A Religious Tree

People in East Chicago, Indiana, have been flocking to see two trees, one which they say has an image of Jesus holding his hands together and looking down [see photo on left], while the tree next to it shows the Virgin Mary looking over at her son. The tree on the other side has plain bark. How boring.

Postscript: City officials have turned off the streetlight that’s critical to seeing the image because residents complained about the traffic jam. And the large fight that broke out on Friday night.

Virgin Doorway

A door from the home of Roger Culver, Flatrock, Michigan, was burned two different times. The result is what he believes to be a scorched image the Blessed Virgin Mary. And a moneymaker on eBay. As a door it’s expensive. As a previously unknown copy of Munch’s The Scream, it’s a steal.
