A tree stump which some believe shows an image of the Virgin Mary has attracted thousands of people to a rural churchyard in County Limerick.
Workmen came across the stump at the Holy Mary Parish Church in Rathkeale while cutting down trees on Monday.
"One of the lads said look, our Blessed Lady in the tree," said Noel White, chairman of the Rathkeale Community Council Graveyard Committee.
"One of the other lads looked over and actually knelt down and blessed himself, he got such a shock.
"It was the perfect shape of the figure of Our Lady holding the baby."
As news of the tree stump has spread, people from across Ireland have travelled to the churchyard.
