Islanders pray to Jesus image on plant pot

COZUMEL, Mexico (Reuters) - Mexicans have set up a shrine at a plant pot on the grounds of a beach resort on the Caribbean island of Cozumel after an image said to depict Jesus appeared on it following Hurricane Wilma a month ago,


A receptionist at the Occidental Grand resort noticed the image likened to Jesus' face as shaken guests emerged from a storm shelter after huddling for three days while the hurricane hurled rain and debris.

Local media are calling it a miracle and draw a link between the apparition and the fact that none of the 200 guests had suffered so much as a bruise during the storm, which tore up other beach resorts on Cozumel, bit holes in concrete buildings, ripped up sections of highway and flattened trees.

The image stands out clearly as a Jesus-like face on the side of the enamelled terra cotta planter -- whose plants also survived the storm despite being outside for its duration.

5. I hate when the press mentioners this shit at all

it's like the "I saw an alien" for the masses. Next thing ya know, some on-line gambling company will buy it and put it up on their website so you can pray to it while you lose your house.

I saw Jesus in the grocery store the other day and he got laid off from the mill, fucking outsourcing affecting Jesus now.
