Two extremely accurate, detailed images of Jesus appeared to an alleged atheist on his coffee mugs, exactly a year apart, causing him to rethink religion. The man claims that the image was "not made by a human hand." Certainly not, though maybe a "human spill."
Reader David Parkerson says that the Virgin Mary has appeared on a bruise on his fingernail. The image has been there for a month now, which shows Mary's perseverance. She apparently hasn't shaved in all that time, either.
In an appearance which has regrettably been termed "heav-hen sent," just last weekend Jesus appeared on a chicken. Perhaps Jesus has been reborn through the chicken! Or maybe Jesus was just trying to settle the debate.
The Virgin Mary appeared in the form of a tree stump, which received its own little shrine in New Jersey. This tree stump apparently brought lots of people together. I'm sure Mary is very pleased with her rocks and pictures, after all that effort of transforming the tree stump.
Jesus appeared in a woman's entryway on an image over several tiles. It looks like Jesus went to live in the mountains for several years and forgot to trim. Get a haircut, hippie!
Jesus decided to appear on some burnt residue on the bottom of an iron. The woman who found the image claims that it is proof that "he's listening." Either that or a hatred of wrinkles.
Update: The Jesus iron is now on ebay for the low, low price of $9,000. What a steal!
Jesus has just appeared on a piece of burnt toast, and of course immediately was put up on ebay, with a starting bid of $99.99. A mere pittance, especially when considering the "good fortune" the seller has had since discovering the image.
For some unfathomable reason, there are currently no bids.
This is the first in what will be a regular series of posts with links and commentary on pareidolia-related stuff. Whenever I get enough new links or things to talk about, I’ll make another one. Feel free to email me suggestions or links by clicking the “Share Your Jesus” link on the right side of the page. You will be able to see all past Roundups and any other non-STTL posts by clicking the “Blog” link.
I have had several people send me this link or the related picture, suggesting I add it to the ever-growing database. But I still have a tiny sliver of faith left in humanity that must lead me to conclude that it’s a parody. Maybe if a bunch of people and news sources fall for it, it’ll be worth a spot.
Speaking of parody, Messiah on the Frigidaire is a play about the image of Jesus appearing on a refrigerator in a trailer park in a small southern town, which puts it in the national spotlight. I also recently found an article that mentioned Jesus Jello: The Miraculous Confection, a play about a hospital patient finding an image of Jesus in his Jell-O.
Atheists find toast on Jesus painting.
Hitler toast. Bonus: links to STTLJ!
This is pretty clever, though inevitable: put Jesus on your own toast.
Jesus decided to materialize on a bad paint job in the home of two sisters who were renovating the house due to moving plans. The image apparently had the two reconsidering their move. And nothing says "I love you, please stay" like screwing up your renovating!
Welcome to the new version of STTLJ, fully coded by Brian, STTLJ's lovable owner. I know I'm making most of the updates, but he's worked harder than I have to make this thing work.
What's new? Well, it looks more badass. Also, instead of just having the old submission form, you can also email me links and pictures. Just click on the "Share Your Jesus" link to the right.
Along with that, I now have the ability to make non-picture posts, so I might occasionally make some blog posts regarding interesting pareidolia-related stories such as parodies, articles discussing pareidolia, etc. You can email me any such links or your own related stories, also through the "Share Your Jesus" link.
