BURBANK (CBS) ― Maybe people go looking for miracles this time of year, but even if you aren't looking for one sometimes they find you.
(my response to that line :puke: )

Workers were just cutting down Christmas trees at Lucky Plants in Burbank, something they do a lot of this time of year. But unlike every other year, they made what some say is a divine discovery.

While cutting down one 6-foot Noble fir, the store employees and owners got the surprise of their lives!

There, inside the trunk of the Oregon-born and raised tree was a perfectly-formed cross. It looks almost painted on but it is ingrained in the wood.

The tree had been on sale for $59.99 but the owners have decided to keep the tree around as something of a tourist attraction.

2. Interesting that it's a German Iron Cross circa 1915.
I think God misses the Kaiser.
