What Would Jesus See » Uncategorized
Oh Sweet Mary!
When a worker at the Bodega Chocolates candy factory in Fountain Valley, CA, saw a pile of chocolate that had dripped from a vat, he realized it looked like the Virgin Mary. Our Lady of Guadalupe to be exact. Now people are flocking there to see the 2.5″ likeness which is being kept in a clear plastic case. How long will it last? Co-owner Martucci Angiano says, “I don’t know. We don’t do molded chocolate all that much.”

A Smokin’ Mary
When Veronica Dennis of Mexico, Maine removed a framed painting from her kitchen wall after a fire last January, she discovered the wall was blackened by smoke and fire…in the image of the Virgin Mary. She vowed she’d never sell the apparition but after being out of work for three months she changed her mind and the section of wall is on eBay with a starting bid of $2,500 and, with a few hours left, no takers. Smokin’!

The Finest Crystal
A psychic in a New Age cafe in Mandurah, Australia says an image of Jesus suddenly appeared in an amethyst crystal in her shop. On Easter Sunday, no less. Veronica Weary says not everyone can see the image but many claim “to have felt love radiating from the glass cabinet it was stored in.” So far no one has proposed to the glass cabinet.

Rock on, Jesus
When a Fort Worth, Texas, woman walked outside to get her morning newspaper a couple of years ago she looked down and saw Jesus smiling up at her from a rock. After keeping the rock as a doorstop for several years she decided to “share this miracle in order to expand it’s [sic] possibilities.” By offering it for sale on eBay, of course. She says “I think that is what He had in mind for us all along.” He must have had $50 in mind as the shipping cost too.

How Do You Tuna Koran?
Muslims in Kenya have been flocking to the Takaungu Fresh Fish Shop in Mombasa to see a 5.5-lb tuna they say has a verse from the Koran on its scales: Wallahu khayru racism (God is the greatest of all providers). On Friday the state fisheries department took the tuna for safekeeping and is keeping it in cold storage. The National Museums of Kenya says it will document the fish so it can be used in religious education. Sorry, Charley.

Olive Virgin Mary
Three months ago, Georgette Elhakin of Glenroy, Australia, noticed something on the bark of her olive tree. She thought it looked like a statue of the Madonna. Since then “miracles” have been happening. First a lump on her inner thigh disappeared. Then Centrelink, a government agency that offers community services, wrote saying they owed her money instead of her owing them. Her husband doesn’t believe the figure on the tree is an image of the Madonna. Then again, he still has chronic asthma and can’t work.
