Face of Jesus Appears In Tree Stump In Belfast Cemetery

By on August 21, 2012 in News 17

I’ll admit that I usually mock earthly sightings of the image of the Christian savior, which most often involve fast food. However, the sudden appearance of Jesus’s face on the stump of a newly felled tree in Belfast City Cemetery in Northern Island, revealing the presence of the holy in nature, is kind of awesome:

    That’s not Jesus. Its Gary “Bababooey” Dell’abate  from the Stern Show. Joseph Smith told me so…

  • Osama Back From The Dead

    I always laugh at the ‘Savior Depictions’, considering they didn’t have camera’s back then. He looks like Osama Bin Laden to me, lol. Anything that has a beard and long hair is the Alpha sneaking into our world to inspire us to…to…to…have a media frenzy, I guess.

    Finally the proof I’ve been looking for. Thank you Jesus for appearing to us.

    not that it ain’t cool and all, but that doesn’t look particularly newly felled to me.

    Anyone ever come to the conclusion that the face on that stump could be any “Jesus?”

    Several millennia ago…  ‘Oh look! It’s Rynwelyn the Druid. I’d wondered what he’d been doing with himself.’  “That oaf never did pay much attention in tree transmogrification class.  He should have stuck to hares & salmon…rather good at those.”

    Obviously a coincidence, unless the “Jesus” they’re referring to is a fat bearded hispanic guy.

    I’m agnostic, but stuff like this is always blatant bullshit. It’s like all those occurrences of stigmata that supposedly happened throughout history, even though it would’ve been physically impossible to suspend someone for long via nails through their palms.

    Christ’s miracles aren’t as good as they used to be. I prefer his old stuff.

      more wine please

    Why is it always Jesus and not some other guy?

  • Thom Vane

    It looks like someone burnt that into the stump with the side of a grubby chainsaw.

    ö <– A face. ☼ <– A bug.  The "miracle" isn't in the grilled cheese sandwich or tree stump. It's in the power of our minds to fashion patterns out of the static of sensory input.

    See pareidolia, apophenia and hierophany

      That’s not a bug, it’s the Immaculate Sacred Heart of Christ!

    Yes, but when you look at it upside down, it looks like the Batman as drawn by Sergio Aragones.  http://www.dccomics.com/collectibles/batman-black-white-batman-by-sergio-aragones-statue

    It looks like Bin Laden.

    You hoaxers should have stenciled in Satan, it would have been funnier! I mean Satan from South Park.
