Jesus image appears on banana peel
dailytelegraph.com.au ^ | Dec.22, 2009

SITTING down for an after lunch snack turned into a brush with all things holy when Lisa Swinton saw the face of Jesus on her banana peel.

‘‘I was like ‘Oh my God! It’s Jesus on a banana!’’

‘‘I got it out of the fruit bowl and was about to peel it and eat it when I saw his face,’’ she told The Daily Telegraph.

The impact of seeing Christ pressed into the banana did not stop the 39-year-old of Haberfield from still eating the fruit and depositing the holy peel.

‘‘I put some photos up on Facebook – one of my friends said it looked like a monkey.’’

If a miracle image of Jesus were to appear on a banana skin, it would be more believable if the image was right side up.

Clearly, this woman must hold the banana upside down to see the “face”.

Just shows Jesus knows more than you do. That is right side up for a banana. That's the way they grow on the tree -- with the stem down, just the way she's holding it.

Doesn’t look much like him.

But then I’ve never seen an autographed picture of Jesus.

You are unquestionably correct and I expected this response from the moment of my posting. I was referring to the usual creationist position that puts the God-given “tab” at the top of the fruit as eaten.

It’s usually easier to peel it from that end also. (Not the tab end).

Obama image appears on Chrissy Matthews’ banana!

Some times, these “miracles” are borne out of excessive wishful thinking and delirious nocturnal fantasies...

Bananas grow 'upside down', so that would be upright when it was on the tree.

Darn, didn’t you know he was fair skinned and had long blond hair. Haven’t you seen all the snap shots. ;0)

If he looked like that he would have stood out like a sore thumb in the Middle East at that time in history.

Has the Catholic church looked into this “Holy Banana” yet?

It's lost its appeal already: I heard they don't want to start down this slippery slope.

I remember one Christmas morning
A winter’s light and a distant choir
And the peel of a banana and that Chiquita-brand smell
And the eyes full of tinsel and fire.
