Islanders pray to Jesus image on pot
Sun Nov 20,12:39 PM ET
Mexicans have set up a shrine at a plant pot on the grounds of a beach
resort on the Caribbean island of Cozumel after an image said to depict
Jesus appeared on it following Hurricane Wilma a month ago,
A receptionist at the Occidental Grand resort noticed the image likened
to Jesus' face as shaken guests emerged from a storm shelter after
huddling for three days while the hurricane hurled rain and debris.
Local media are calling it a miracle and draw a link between the
apparition and the fact that none of the 200 guests had suffered so much
as a bruise during the storm, which tore up other beach resorts on
Cozumel, bit holes in concrete buildings, ripped up sections of highway
and flattened trees.
The image stands out clearly as a Jesus-like face on the side of the
enameled terra cotta planter -- whose plants also survived the storm
despite being outside for its duration.
"The first person who saw it was a receptionist. Then the guests started
coming to see it and before long people were praying and lighting
candles," said a security guard near the pot, which is roped off with a
crimson cord strung between brass poles and has a simple candle burning
in front of it,
"A lot of people wept when they saw it. There was a lot of emotion
because it appeared after everyone spent three days together in the
storm shelter," said the guard, declining to give his name.
The Occidental Grand, now closed to the public for minor repairs, was
the only hotel on Cozumel not to evacuate its guests to the mainland
before the hurricane, as it has a sturdy shelter which the security
guard said was stocked with three months worth of food and water for 300
people.

Speaking of acid, I once saw an image of jesus in a lampshade while I was
tripping.
However, my earlier statement was a reference to Jon Stewart's character in
"Half Baked".

Rather a bizarre experience, IIRC ;)
And after smoking a joint while ice skating at the Celery Farms in
Allendale, NJ the following morning, started tripping all over again. Ah,

Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet johac
(jhachm@ixpres.remove.com) made the light shine upon us with this:
Mexicans have set up a shrine at a plant pot on the grounds of a beach
resort on the Caribbean island of Cozumel after an image said to depict
Jesus appeared on it following Hurricane Wilma a month ago,
Damn, you mean Jesus will kill 48 people and render thousands homeless so
he can get his image on a plant pot? I wonder what it costs for a fucking
billboard!

Islanders pray to Jesus image on pot
Sun Nov 20,12:39 PM ET
Mexicans have set up a shrine at a plant pot on the grounds of a beach
resort on the Caribbean island of Cozumel after an image said to depict
Jesus appeared on it following Hurricane Wilma a month ago,
A receptionist at the Occidental Grand resort noticed the image likened
to Jesus' face as shaken guests emerged from a storm shelter after
huddling for three days while the hurricane hurled rain and debris.
Local media are calling it a miracle and draw a link between the
apparition and the fact that none of the 200 guests had suffered so
much
as a bruise during the storm, which tore up other beach resorts on
Cozumel, bit holes in concrete buildings, ripped up sections of highway
and flattened trees.
The image stands out clearly as a Jesus-like face on the side of the
enameled terra cotta planter -- whose plants also survived the storm
despite being outside for its duration.
"The first person who saw it was a receptionist. Then the guests
started
coming to see it and before long people were praying and lighting
candles," said a security guard near the pot, which is roped off with a
crimson cord strung between brass poles and has a simple candle burning
in front of it,
"A lot of people wept when they saw it. There was a lot of emotion
because it appeared after everyone spent three days together in the
storm shelter," said the guard, declining to give his name.
The Occidental Grand, now closed to the public for minor repairs, was
the only hotel on Cozumel not to evacuate its guests to the mainland
before the hurricane, as it has a sturdy shelter which the security
guard said was stocked with three months worth of food and water for
300
people.
