People never fail to surpirse me as in this case of a supposed Jesus image sighting in Coventry which has more to do with too many G&Ts and lack of washing powder than anything religious :
There’s the Shroud of Turin — and now there’s the Towel of Coventry.
A 31-year-old dance instructor from the British city says a bizarre brown stain that appeared on one of her tea towels actually shows the face of Jesus Christ.
Roisin McCourt told Metro that the discolored spot is clearly recognizable as the face of a man with a beard and long hair
“When I took it out, I could not believe it,” she told the newspaper. “I could see it was Jesus straightaway. I took it to my husband, and he agreed with me.
“I don’t even know what the stain was made from. I had not seen it before I had put it in the washing,” she said.
For many people, a stained towel is an indication that they need to use a more powerful laundry detergent. But for McCourt, the brown smudge was a powerful spiritual sign.
“I am Catholic, but I am not extremely religious. We don’t go to Mass every weekend, but after finding this, it has definitely made my faith stronger.”
Judge for yourself from the photo of the “miracle” below – looks to me like someone ran out of paper in the small room and grabbed the nearest available thing from the laundry basket :
I much prefer the drunken bankers’ Jesus in a frying pan :
Expect more of the same as nailing up day approaches and just consider yourself lucky that you don’t have to put up with looking at a 10m tall illuminated crucifix from your home for the whole Easter period like I do!
Wasp, I can’t think of a more appropriate movie to re-watch. It is Easter after all, and I’m nor just saying that because the TV is shit. 😉
He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very random gravy mark. Now go away.
FT, I thought the frying pan one looked more like John Lennon without his glass on, and it’s more likely to be him than Jesus. Being a good Jewish lad what would Jesus be doing appearing in a pan of burnt bacon fat? Actually maybe not John Lennon – did he go vego as well or was that just Paul? Anyway, people can see Jesus in whatever they choose to see Jesus in – case in point.
AE – I am going to have to watch that again now even if it’s just for “Ok I am the Messiah – now fuck off! How shall we fuck off oh Lord?”
Whilst Jesus may have had long hair and a beard, I’ll bet he didn’t look Italian.
Henry – that would spoil the whole game though wouldn’t it?
XX clearly recognizable as the face of a man with a beard and long hair XX
WOW!!!! Mike Oldfields face in a frying pan!!!
FT – I think it probably looked better when the guy was drunk and burning his supper – sort of beer goggles for Jesus apparitions.
