Another Sighting

Now really people.... Look at the picture above and tell me what you see.

Apparently, thousands of people have flocked to the small French island of Reunion, to see this - the face of our Savior Himself, appearing in the wrinkles of a church seat cushion. Pleeeeeeaassssee people!

I sure wish we could link an earlier post we wrote to their website!

So, here goes. From one of the many media sources covering the story:
SAINT-DENIS, Reunion (AFP) — Thousands flocked to a Roman Catholic church on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion Saturday after believers said they saw the "face of Christ" in the pleats of a church cushion.

Church officials limited access to the Jesus-Misericordieux church in eastern Saint-Andre's Cambuston district to a few minutes per visitor as traffic in the area ground to a halt.

Believers and curious onlookers pulled out cameras to take pictures of the cushion attached to the priest's chair.

Antoinette, an 82-year-old parishioner, said the face was a "divine phenomenon" as tears welled up her eyes.

"This church is a holy site," added Lise-May, another worshipper.

"This is not a miracle, it's a sign of God," said parish priest Daniel Gavard.
