Man finds Jesus in coffee stain

RAVENA, N.Y. (UPI) -- A New York state man says he discovered a coffee stain in the shape of Jesus Christ's face on the inside of a Mason jar drinking mug.

Jerry Stolfi, 49, of Ravena, said he noticed the image, which is smaller than a square inch, of Jesus' face wearing the crown of thorns after he finished a cup of coffee April 29 and has since kept the mug carefully stored in a cupboard that has been re-dubbed a "shrine," the Albany (N.Y.) Times-Union reported.

"It doesn't smell, though, and I will never be washing it," he said.

Stolfi said not everyone sees the same image when they look at the glass.

"It's 50-50," he said. "I don't blame those that don't see the image. I saw it straight off the bat."

The former alter boy and aspiring playwright said he has no plans to attempt to profit from the stain, but his girlfriend convinced him to share it with the world as a message of hope.

"You don't hear about an image like this coming to everybody every day," he said. "It's so rare. He selected me for some reason."

If he was meant to share it, why isn't there a link to this story, so we can see a picture and judge for ourselves? I am a Christian, but I have a hard time swallowing this one.

What a crock! People will see and believe what they WANT to, and make a big issue out of it. It's too bad there are so many stupid, gullible people are out there. If Jesus were to talk to someone, I seriously doubt He'd do it by putting His face into a coffee mug. This is just as lame as it can be.

if it's less than a square inch it's likely
too small for a true image.
