A Message From Ant Mary
Images of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary have been discovered on leaves in the rain forests of Brazil, and they were made by ants! A biologist says the tiny holes in the guava, mango and other fruit trees couldn’t have been made by humans. Reverend Antonio Maria says he saw ants cut out an image of the Virgin Mary on a palm tree branch in two hours. As further proof, they say one of the leaves is inscribed with the word “pas,” which they believe to be a misspelled version of the Portuguese for peace, “paz.” Hey, they’re ants, you can’t expect them to be great spellers, you know.

Rorschach Nativity
People from around the globe have traveled to Vermilion, Ohio, over the past year to see mold stains on the back of a Nativity scene that look like Jesus Christ. I mean, the Virgin Mary. Okay, the pope. “It started with about five images that we could recognize,” said Roger Hanson, whose wife, Elizabeth, owns Abigail’s Antiques & Emporium. “Now it’s up to about 12.” When they got the wooden Nativity scene it was completely covered with mold. They tried to scrub it off with a toothbrush, blast it with an air compressor and use a heavy brush. Finally they washed it with dish soap. The mold grew back. Hanson looked at it and saw a profile of the Virgin Mary. His wife saw Jesus Christ. Others have seen the pope, a burro’s head, a hand holding a chalice, a Catholic cardinal, a halo over Christ’s head, an upside-down crown, three palm branches on Christ’s head, a celestial hand and Jesus’ hand extended outward. They’ve been offered $10,000 for it but won’t sell.

Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door
Susie Parker of Raton, New Mexico, says the sun has created a faded image of Jesus on her door, complete with what appears to be drops of blood at the bottom. So far there are no crowds, no T-shirts for sale, and no posting on eBay.

Divine Dumpling
Donna Lee of Point Place, Ohio, was cooking pierogis for Easter dinner when she noticed that one of them came out of the frying pan with the image of Jesus Christ burned into it. Seventeen people bid for it on eBay, with the winner, uh, forking over $1,775 for it. And that’s without even knowing whether it’s filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables. GoldenPalace.com is the proud owner, adding it to their growing collection.

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.
