jesusfacecushion

Thousands of people have flocked to a Roman Catholic church on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion 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…

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

A profitable sign, no doubt.

    Looks more like Patrick Stewart if he were a veteran boxer.

  2. Mr Diesel says:

    Back of a priest’s chair?

    Probably the face of an alter boy.

  3. Cap'nKangaroo says:

    I’d sooner believe the face of Jesus appearing on a bagel than a seat cushion. If that is an actual photo of the “miracle”, I call it a couple of wrinkles and maybe some fiber filler scrunched up.

    No doubt the offering plate is filling up and bookings of flights to the island also.

    It looks more like John Lennon.

  5. Rob says:

    Quick! Somebody sit on Christ’s face and tell us what happens!

    I personally think the best jesus-image ever appeared on this dog in 2006:

  7. Robart says:

    I don’t see it. If anything I see Jar Jar Binks.

  8. Paul says:

    Jesus wore glasses?

    Church officials limited access to the Jesus-Misericordieux church …

    No surprise as frauds and scams to exploit people are pervasive in society. Although intelligent adults opt in to be exploited by organized religion (children are forced by parents), it is sad when they prey on the simple minds and the destitute.

    Like what prostitution is to profession, organized religion is the oldest scam on earth.

    #6 Wow, I can totally see it — blessed be thy name.

    The bridge of the nose might be a little too wide, otherwise I would say it looks like the G-Man “Blessings upon you… Mr. Freeman.”

    How many people were infected by this particular mind-virus?

    Next: The face of Christ appears on big stones on Easter Island?

  13. Looks like Jimmy Durante to me.

  14. Alfred1 says:

    Is this a satire on seeing hope and change in the visage of Obama?

    It’s a Gray.

    Looks like Rasputin to me.
