The Daily Telegraph notes that the appearance of the image comes a year before Pope Benedict XVI is due to visit Sydney for World Youth Day. Talk about an influential advance man.

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.

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.
