Wax On Pumpkin Said To Resemble Jesus

It's a miracle!

At least that's what employees at a printing plant in Jersey City are saying about an imprint on a decorated pumpkin they say bears an eerie resemblance to the visage of Jesus Christ.

"My whole department, about 25 people, said it looks like the face of Jesus Christ," said Kathy St. Clair, a printing billing specialist for the company. "It's a sign that he (Jesus Christ) is in the midst of everything."

The pumpkin was decorated by St. Clair as part of a contest. St. Clair said she splattered it with yellow, green, red and blue wax paint, inspired by the horror movie "Hellraiser."

St. Clair lost the contest, which was held on Wednesday, but on Friday, co-workers began to notice that some settled wax on the gourd formed a likeness of Jesus Christ.

"I didn't paint any human form on the pumpkin," St. Clair said. "Initially I made an eye, then covered it up."

Asked about the possibility of Jesus Christ's face miraculously appearing on a pumpkin, James Goodness, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark said, "I don't recall ever hearing something along those lines."

St. Clair said she planned to keep her "Jesus-faced" pumpkin on display in her office a little while longer.

"I'm going to put it on eBay," she chuckled.

1. and thus our status as a first world country fades into

fantatical, idiotic, obscurity.

Hey, who wants to go burn some witches?

2. No pics in the story so impossible to authenticate the level of Jesus

resemblence on the pumpkin. So how do they expect us to believe this? On FAITH? For all we know it could look like Jerry Falwell.

3. I love how these people think they know what Jesus looked like...

White guy, early 30's with long flowing light brunette hair and precision trimmed beard.

The real Jesus would probably scare the hell out of them...

4. Are pumpkins mentioned in the Bible?

No? then GET BACK TO WORK AND STOP LOLLY GAGGING AROUND STARING AT FREAKIN' PUMPKINS YOU MISERABLE HUMPS.

5. You know what's sad?

If/When they put this pumpkin on Ebay, some idiot fundie will pay thousands of dollars for it.

Remember Mary on the grilled cheese sandwich?

8. Bingo.

I think I should fund my college tuition by making tortilla sandwiches/grilled cheese/pumpkins/etc. with faces of various religious figures.

6. I have a pumpkin that looks like Jesus!

That's because I treat it with love and refuse to knock the Christ out of it!

7. How long until

Large groups of Latinos showed up to pray to it.
