Is The Nun Bun Still Alive?
On Christmas morning 2005 someone broke into Bongo Java, a coffee shop in Nashville, Tennessee, and stole the Nun Bun — the famous cinnamon bun that looks like Mother Teresa. I can attest to the resemblance since I saw it on my way across country in 1997. Well, it’s resurfaced. The Tennessean received a letter postmarked from Seattle that says “She’s in good hands.” Accompanying it was a photograph of a young bearded man resembling Jesus lying on a sunny beach holding the Nun Bun in his outstretched hand. It’s the third letter and photograph the newspaper has received from “Hu Dunet.” Nashville police closed the case last year.

Hot For Jesus
Two weeks ago a fire destroyed Christine York’s house in Yuba County, California. When she went back in to see what she could salvage, she found her grandmother’s rosary was intact, as was a statue of the Virgin Mary which was still filled with holy water. Feeling desperate, she said, “Lord I can’t carry it no more. I need help.” She turned around and, there on the wallpaper, was the image of Jesus Christ. She cut it out, framed it, and is keeping it, in spite of already being offered $10,000 for it.

Mary With Pepperoni
Last Wednesday, which happened to be Ash Wednesday, a lunchroom worker at Pugh Elementary School in Houston, Texas, was washing a pizza baking sheet when she saw the familiar shape of the Virgin Mary on it. Word got around and soon crowds flocked to the school. The principal gave the baking sheet to the PTA to display on an altar outside a student’s house who lives nearby. The kitchen manager wanted the baking sheet back. The lunchroom worker, Guadalupe Rodriguez, wanted to keep it to set up a permanent altar. The principal played Solomon, negotiating a deal whereby Rodriguez keeps the baking sheet, the PTA gets to display it this weekend, and the kitchen gets a brand spanking new pan. Peace prevails.

Wooden You Know It
Kevin Morgan of Cheatham County, Tennessee, bought a piece of Bethlehem Olive wood from Jerusalem so he could make a wooden pen. It’s a hobby of his. He was about to toss a scrap of it in the fire when his wife saw the likeness of the Virgin Mary, hands clasped in prayer. Morgan says he’ll consider selling the piece if the price is right, which means it will at least have to be more than the $4 he paid for the whole piece of wood in the first place.

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.
