World Virgin Mary 'appears in tree stump'

[winkles]

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.

On a more related note, I don't think that really resembles Mary.

However, I think it shares a striking similarity with...

Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

It seems like every few days/weeks/months/years, we find some kind of biblical figure in some random thing.

Are we, as a people, that stupid?

Seth, you of all people should know that the answer to that is yes.

I was kind of hoping I could be deluded to something more impressing and a little less disappointing.

Thanks for crushin' the dream, Pine

Whatever.

That big black spot in the middle of the tree does resemble a baby a bit if you look closely enough. But Mary? Where can they see Mary? All i see is a tree.

Just looking for some order in a chaotic world. Not nearly as "stupid" as some other things that people do.

 

[undeadorcjerk]

Bleh.

What does this mean? Was that tree holy? Well, its sure as hell isn't now, its not but a stump.

 

[UnknowVector]

Is it normal to make 3 cuts and end up with a stump that ends in a point?

[Aqua Dragon]

Still, I like the idea of getting to see a tree piece in the shape of a hippo. Would be neat.

I think I just saw Jesus in my crumpled up towel.

As great as religious sightings are, this is not one of them.
That block of wood looks nothing like Mary, let alone a person.

Man this is stupid, and that's about all I can say.
