So it seems people are flocking to a rural churchyard in Ireland to venerate a tree stump — yes, you read that right — that apparently looks a lot like the Blessed Virgin Mary. First a cinnamon bun, then some toast, countless office building windows, and now a tree stump.
Seriously, people.
The BBC has coverage here, but also a helpful roundup of previous food-related religious sightings, including Jesus’ appearance in a bottle of Marmite (surely he has better taste than that), Mother Teresa on a cinnamon bun, and of course the decade-old grilled cheese sandwich that fetched $28,000 on eBay.
