I see a baboon.

A Starr County family is wondering if a mircale took place in their kitchen on Tuesday afternoon.
Melinda Solis told Action 4 News that she was warming up flour tortillas for her teenage sons after school around 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Solis said she was spreading out the cooked tortillas when her mother noticed something unusual.
One of the tortillas had a large brown spot that resembled the Virgin Mary holding the Baby Jesus.
Solis, a mother of four who was raised Catholic, said she and her family are saving the tortilla.
The La Grulla area woman said they are not sure if they are going to call a priest just yet.
"It's safe as long as I keep it away from my sons...as long as I keep it away from butter," Solis said.
The image appeared weeks after Día de los Reyes but just ahead of Día de la Candelaria.
In Mexican culture, Dia de los Reyes is celebrated each year with gifts on January 6th to commemorate when the three kings visited the Baby Jesus.
Dia de la Candelaria is celebrated each year with a tamale feast or a "Feast of Purification" on February 2nd to commemorate when Jesus was first presented at the Jewish temple.
I see a baboon.
I see a burned tortilla.
Ping.
What do you see in the above image?
While it’s true that humans are pattern-seeking animals, in this case I don’t even see anything but a blob.
Here we go again. Another MSM article about how stupid those silly Christians are to see holy images in a tortilla or some other food object.

A mircalous mircale!
It’s a Hubble pic.
I think its more like a Catholic thing than a Christian thing.
***Another MSM article about how stupid those silly Christians are to see holy images in a tortilla or some other food object.***
No, it’s another MSM article about how Catholics are silly for thinking every blob that appears is Mary. This family invited the scrutiny.
Excuse me? Catholics are Christians and this piece of burned corn bread is no more Catholic than you are.
The last line was..."Holy cripes, it's Mary...the mother of the Lord."
The MSM isn’t being specific here. Its a cottage industry to find the most ridiculous story about someone finding a holy image in something stupid. Catholics and Christians in general are portrayed as stupid through articles like this.
I duno. If they pray to anyone but Jesus. If they think a dead relative or a dead mortal can ask God for favors for them. Or if they think God leaves us messages on tortillas, they ain’t Christians.
I’ll put them with the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses and the like.
The Tor Tilla Nebula!
I see a burned tortilla as well.
"It's safe as long as I keep it away from my sons...as long as I keep it away from butter," Solis said.

These appearances (called apparitions) have occurred with increasing frequency since the nineteenth century, and have attracted widespread attention. Pope Pius XII, in calling attention to the apparitions, referred to the nineteenth century as the "century of Marian predilection [i.e., preference]." And the present century cannot be far behind: one leading Marian scholar notes that there have been more than 200 reported apparitions since the 1930s alone.[2] With the various shrines dedicated to the particular apparitions attracting millions of pilgrims each year, it is easy to see that this phenomenon is having a substantial impact on the almost one-billion-member Roman Catholic church.

Promise to ping me when some wacky Protestants are fretting about buttering a piece of whitebread toast with a vague resemblance to Martin Luther the next time it happens, OK?
