Re: Belief provides comfort
I seen this story about an image of the virgin Mary on a tree in NY, I know this is a fairly common occurrence. (Jesus on a grilled cheese sandwich ect...)
​
​
Where I see a scar that a machete could have made, the faithful see a sign from God. I don't see no real harm in this. McDonalds is enjoying some extra business.
​
What I find most interesting is that some people after seeing Mary are now believing there is an image of Jesus on the bark on the other side of the tree.
​

Some are beginning to say this mark on the other side of the tree bares resemblance to Jesus Christ.

The power of suggestion mixed with faith is all I see.
