Miracle in Nasawara

Crucifix appears in Nasarawa mosque; hundreds troop out for miracle

https://www.naij.com/991448-crucifix-appears-nasarawa-mosque-hundreds-troop-miracle.html

Hajara Hussaini confirmed that she was the first to see the light in the shape of a cross on Wednesday, September 28 when her mother sent her on errand. Her mother, Matan Liman also confirmed the strange appearance and said her daughter was gripped in fear when she returned.

Muhammed Iliyasu who is the Chief Imam of Assakio Central Mosque said the sighting of the cross within the mosque premise confirmed that revelation was from God, affirming that “Jesus is also a prophet of God.”

Grace Eze who resides in the community said she was healed when she visited the mosque. “I underwent a surgery about two years ago after which I started to experience a movement in my body. But after praying before the cross, I got healed.”

How can anyone read a story like this and not give up being an atheist?

It used to be one had to resurrect the dead, cure disease, cast out demons, or walk on water.

Now Mary shows up on a grilled cheese sandwich and everyone loses their shit.
