It's well known that cleanliness is up there next to Godliness, but Roisin McCourt wasn't expecting Jesus to pop out of her washing machine load.
Dance teacher Ms McCourt was shocked when she saw the unusual brown stain, which shows what seem to be the facial features of a long-haired, bearded man.
Ms McCourt, 31, has since been mobbed with requests from believers wishing to make a pilgrimage to see the holy imprint.
The Coventry resident said: 'When I took it out I could not believe it. I could see it was Jesus straightaway. I took it to my husband and he agreed with me.
'I don't even know what the stain was made from I had not seen it before I had put it in the washing.
She believes that she has received a sign from God after receiving the surprise.
She said: 'I am Catholic but I am not extremely religious we don't go to mass every weekend but after finding this it has definitely made my faith stronger.'
Some of Ms McCourt's friends have said the image on the towel looks more like Elvis, but Ms McCourt is not convinced.
'I know some people will think it's crazy and I feel a bit silly saying it but I really believe that it is his face.'
'The strange thing is that I have started receiving calls from people asking me if they can come and see the tea towel.
'You never know, it could be Coventry's answer to the Turin Shroud,' she added.
Another resident from Coventry, Alex Cotton, last year claimed to see Jesus' face on her drainpipe.

She should get in touch with the guy from Bristol who saw Jesus in his BBQ pit.

I didn’t know there was a picture of Jesus to know what he looked like?

My towel has a picture of you. Since I don't know what you look like you'll just have to believe me.

Any Elvis sightings lately? He was the Jewish king of rock-n-roll!

I didn’t know there was a picture of Jesus to know what he looked like?Reminds me of an old joke
A teacher asks her first grade class to draw anything they want. After a few minutes she stops by a little boy drawing away and asks "what are you drawing, Billy?"
Billy replies "I am drawing a picture of Jesus".
The teacher says "but, Billy.......no one knows what Jesus looks like".
Billy says "well, they will in a minute!"

That’s coming OUT of the wash? She must have that phosphate-free crap or something, that’s poor laundering.

This is the third “Jesus appears” this morning.
Fascinating.

'I don't even know what the stain was made from I had not seen it before I had put it in the washing. The fact that the stains from her husband's underwear had miraculously disappeared did not give her a clue?
