Not Orange Julius, Orange Jesus
When Paul Kulniszewski of Lockport, N.Y., cut open an orange for breakfast on Christmas morning, he was surprised to see the image of Jesus hanging from a crucifix with the Virgin Mother below. Having taken evidence photos for the New York State Police for 30 years, he had the presence of mind to take a photograph before the orange dried up and shriveled. He’s says he has no intention of selling the orange, which he’s since coated in resin, so it can stay in the family. Though he does plan to sell copies of the photograph for $15.00 with half the proceeds going to his Catholic Church in Lockport.

Watered Down Mary
Father Ernest Bulinda, the Rector at the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Norfolk, Virginia, was walking past the baptismal font when something caught his eye. It was a water stain, but not just any water stain. This one looked like a silhouette of the Virgin Mary. He called a parishioner who was nearby and asked what he thought. He agreed that it looked like Mary. Father Bulinda tried to keep it quiet but word spread and people have been stopping by to take a look. He has no plans to clean it up. “She’s been appearing everywhere, she’s on toast and so on and so forth so I thought we’ll just keep quiet and let it be.”

Bringing Home The Bacon
Toby Elles of Salford, England, wanted a late night snack after drinking beer with his roommates, so he put a few slices of bacon in a pan. He decided to rest on the couch while it cooked and fell asleep, waking up about an hour later with smoke filling the room. When he lifted the burned bacon he discovered the image of Jesus Christ staring at him from the bottom of the pan, this in spite of the pork product not being kosher. “I’m not going to scrub it clean though,” he says, “just in case I get struck by lightning. It’s going to take pride of place on a wall instead.”

Currying Favors With Jesus
David Howlett was about to bite into a naan at India Dining in Esher, Surrey, England when he noticed an image on the flat bread. “I spotted Jesus looking back at me,” he says. It was especially eerie since it was so close to Christmas. And he hadn’t appeared in the Figgy Pudding.

Like Cheesy Mother Like Cheesy Son
Jason Amaya of Lake Station, Indiana was watching a religious TV show when he reached into his bag of Cheetos and pulled one out that he says looks like a miniature Virgin Mary standing with her arms crossed. He’s holding onto it and showing it to family and friends but doesn’t know what, if anything, he’ll do with it. Maybe he should get together with Dan Bell of Preston Hollow, Texas, who found a Cheeto in May he says looks like a praying Jesus with one arm that he nicknamed Cheesus and start a Cheetos creche.

Which Came First, The Faith Or The Egg?
Tracy Norrell of Burleson, Texas, was collecting eggs from his chicken coop Monday night when he noticed that, well, one of the eggs didn’t look like the others. It wasn’t smooth and had a cross indented in one end. He and his wife Pam think the egg was laid “straight from heaven” and is a message of encouragement. They haven’t decided what to do with the egg yet but say eating it is out of the question.
