Woman selling 'Virgin Mary' rock
Dena Patterson, 79, said she found the rock while walking through the woods in West Virginia in 1996. She has been using it as a doorstop ever since, The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune reported Thursday.
Patterson said she decided to sell the rock to raise money for a trip to visit family members in West Virginia.
"I expect to get a lot of money," Patterson said.
"This is a rock. It's not like it's a piece of cheese," she said, making reference to the infamous grilled cheese sandwich that allegedly bore Mary's image and sold for $28,000 on eBay.
Patterson said she is seeking local buyers because she does not own a computer and does not know how to use eBay.

This is nothing but a work of art from someone who is religious, probably a beatnik from the 60's, or any artist who happens to love Jesus and Mary.Why can't the famous artists of our times do that.They will sell as well, or even more.Religious paintings should be encouraged to thwart evil from this planet, instead of billboards promoting smoking, drinking wine, or gambling!It's time this country turn completely to God!Let us erase gay and same sex marriages, abortion, and immoral practices within our society, and leave a legacy of righteousness and integrity!WE need to be bearers of God's light, to all the world, AMEN.
