ESPANOLA, N.M. -- An Espanola man said he found the image of Jesus Christ on a tortilla.

David Sandoval said he saw the image on Ash Wednesday last week. He said he has always been a believer but he just couldn't quite believe he was actually seeing the face of Jesus on a tortilla.

"It became even more astonishing, with it being the first day of Lent," Sandoval said. "I passed it to my mom and the same response came from her, 'Oh my God.'"

I don’t know what Jesus looked like—the Bible gives no description—but that image looks sort of like Friedrich Nietzsche.

FYI, there are "Espanola jokes" told in New Mexico. Just to give you an idea of what kind of town it is.

Mash here to understand more fully.

What I want to know is how the hell do all of these people know what Jesus looked like, unless maybe this guy meant the Mexican version “heysous.”
And this goes for all the people that see the Virgin Mary. Just how many of these people were alive when she was. If I recall correctly, cameras hadn’t been invented then either so someone is pulling our chain or they’re full of bovine feces.

— man said he found the image of Jesus Christ on a tortilla. ——

If you eat enough tortillas, that’s eventually going to happen.

That’s not Jesus, that’s Che Guevara. He got pretty scraggly hiding out in that jungle in Bolivia.

When Icons go awry.

Seriously, folks, why would Jesus Christ materialize in a burnt tortilla, a taco, a piece of toast or a knot on a tree?

And, even if he did, would it take the form of a supposed image of himself? Wouldn’t the words “Repent and sin no more” be a more likely communication?

I have no idea, not being Catholic, why people go looking for this sort of thing, or what it’s even supposed to represent. But they’ll be lining up around the block to stare at a burnt tortilla.

I don’t get it.

Thanks! I can not get enough humor in these troubled times.
I haven’t laughed so hard since that time my sister got her ____ caught in the washing machine wringer.
