Religious sightings, from the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich to Jesus on a sonogram. Mother Mary come to me. Let it be. Let it be.

Softer Gentler Jesus

One morning Brenda Jackson of Searcy, AR, woke up and noticed that the bottle of Elizabeth Arden hand lotion that always sits on her night stand looked different. The lotion that was clinging to the inside of the top portion of the half-empty bottle had created an image of Jesus Christ. A softer, gentler, vitamin-enriched Jesus, now with Lanolin.

Great Northern Jesus

After a cloth depicting the crown of thorns was put up in a church on Prince Edward Island, Canada, for Ash Wednesday, parishioners started seeing the face of Jesus on it, complete with long flowing hair. Members of the Parish of St. Simon and St. Jude in Tignish say the cloth has been used for years but the face has never appeared before. According to the reports, "Some efforts have been made to shake the image out of the cloth, but it continues to appear."

Like A Rock

Anna Oquendo of Kendall, Florida, has a rock she says has an image of the Virgin Mary in one area and the Baby Jesus in another. It was a gift from her employer, who found it in a river in Tennessee. Oquendo says the rock is keeping her husband alive and has no plans to sell it. He'd better hope not.
