Anabel Andana started her shift in the kitchen at La Victoria Adult Day Care Center in south-entral El Paso like any other day.

"I went in at 6:30 to make food for the afternoon," Andana said.

However, while she was working, she say something that startled her.

I love how they consider this a Divine Visitation, and how lovely Mary looks, then go to say they tried scrubbing it off several times. Wha...?

Pope declares 'holy war' against people who falsely claim to have seen the Virgin Mary

The Pope is declaring a 'holy war' against people who claim falsely that the Virgin Mary is appearing to them.

He will attempt to snuff out an explosion of bogus heavenly apparitions with new guidelines to help bishops root out frauds.

Benedict XVI plans to publish criteria to help them distinguish between true and false claims of visions of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, messages, stigmata - the appearances of the five wounds of Christ - and weeping or bleeding statues.

My favourite bit

If the visionary is considered credible they will ultimately be questioned by one or more demonologists and exorcists to exclude the possibility that Satan is hiding behind the apparitions in order to deceive the faithful.

What century are we living in again?

An Australian man says the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus have appeared in his lava lamp and ever since the “miracle” his life has been blessed.

“I had been going through a tough time and was paying for a sign … a divine sign from God that I was not alone and that all would work out fine,” he explains on the website.

Well, there's you're problem, right there. Never pay for a sign from God. You'd have better luck paying for a job and girlfriend than a sign from God.

A Chicago underpass stain resembling the Virgin Mary has been defaced by graffiti of a devil face.

The stain, under the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago, was tarnished by the demonic purple scrawl sometime within the last two weeks, police told the Chicago Tribune.

The sales folks have a lot of down time these days at Jarrett Ford Lincoln Mercury. That's typical for a small town car dealership during a severe economic slump. What's unusual is how some workers are passing the time.

In the center of the used car sales manager's office door is a wood stain about 3 feet tall.

Some look at it and swear it's Jesus.

It's a story likely to confirm whether you’re a true believer or a true sceptic.

Twins Phil and Mick Cahalane, 45, possess a family photo with an intriguing story.

According to the brothers, the photo was taken more than 100 years ago in Scotland and shows their great-grandfather with the image of a “saintly” figure.

Mary Mitchum spent hours sanding, stripping and varnishing the pastor's lectern and other furniture for her church, Jubilee Fellowship in south Augusta.

Over the years there has been hundreds if not thousands of biblical images appearing on some pretty odd things. A new report has surfaced out of the Florida panhandle.

Ted Biszko told WEAR-TV in Pensacola, Florida that he was recently getting ready for a yard sale when he noticed something strange on his doggie door. When he got a closer he immediately thought that the odd stain looked like an image of the Virgin Mary.

Does that band still tour? You know, the Jesus and Mary Stain?

That doesn't look like Mary on the doggie door. It looks vaguely like a depressed woman with long hair cartoon. Then again, I'd be depressed if I'm resorting to coming to Earth only as something a terrier will look at.

I don't see even the slightest resemblance to a figure or face, much less of the Mary. It kinda looks like a cool green brain with blue down the center.

Face of Christ 'appears in cushion' at Jesus-Misericordieux church Reunion

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.

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

Reunion Bishop Gilbert Aubry has so far not commented on the occurrence which came within days of outbursts of violence over the high cost of living on the island whose economy depends on tourism and subsidies from the French state.

No pics in the news article. Jesus in a cushion?

Is that what's meant by a pillow of the church?* There's a pic of the cushion in this article but as usual good look trying to find Jesus' face in it.

* I thought this was a pretty good pun until I realised that most snopesters probably don't pronounce pillow and pillar in the same way.

And as they nailed him up to appease the massing crowd, the cushion cried, "Oh Farter, why have you abandoned me?"

The priest's undies were up the next day, and there was the skid mark of God! The Holy Ghost of course, had been silent but deadly.
