'Face of Jesus' appears on cemetery tree stump
THE FACE OF Jesus is a versatile thing. It’s been found in drying socks, on the side of a Chinese takeaway, and on a breakfast taco.
And now Christ has taken to a tree stump.
Belfast man Sean Osborne thoughtfully filmed the phenomenon at Belfast City Cemetery, on the grave of a woman named Rebecca Steven.
He told UTV that “being a sceptic” he had tried to scrub the image off, but to no avail, adding: “If someone has painted it on, they’ve done a really good job and kept quiet.”
Here’s the Belfast face:
