In April 2009, an outline of the Virgin Mary was spotted on a food griddle at a restaurant on the California/Mexico border.

Hilda Maciel, a chef at the Las Palmas restaurant in the small border town of Calexico, discovered the image when cleaning the griddle.

The restaurant’s general manager Brenda Martinez told Associated Press that, after local churchman Reverend Gerardo Fernandez confirmed the image was a true likeness of the Virgin, more than 100 people flocked to restaurant to view it. Among the onlookers was a group of masked Mexican wrestlers in town for an exhibition.

Last week i posted about Virgin Marry Spotted In Grape,now again got this amazing news.

A likeness of the Virgin Mary spotted in the trunk of a suburban tree is being touted as a divine “blessing”.

The image, which resembles the mother of Jesus in her traditional open-armed pose, has reportedly been causing local residents to shake and cry in wonder.

Christopher Moreau, who first spotted the tree’s markings in his neighbour’s garden in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, believes that it may have helped the health of his mother-in-law, who recently recovered from cancer.

"At first I thought I was seeing things," the 47-year-old said. "Then I went and got my mother-in-law to tell her. She was overwhelmed by it. She was crying."

"I don't know why it's there, but I think it's a blessing," he told the Toronto Sun newspaper, adding that he hoped it would help others looking for a miracle.

"She's not there just for me. She's there to share."

Eulalee Hamilton, Mr Moreau’s neighbour and the owner of the tree, said that she was happy for people to come see the likeness as long as they did not damage her garden.

Laughing off suggestions that it was a sign from God, she said that the Virgin Mary image was just the scarring from a limb that was cut off the tree a year ago.

"Chris can have all the people he wants on his back deck but I don't really want people trampling on my garden," she said.

Mr Moreau has admitted he was drinking in his garden when he first spotted the likeness, but insists he was completely sober. "I'm not a wacko," he said.

"It raises the hair on your neck, it gives you chills," he added.

A spokesman for the Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto said that it does not investigate the veracity of such “appearances”.

There have been hundreds of "sightings" of the Virgin Mary down the centuries, but recent years have seen her appearing in ever more unusual places.

A decade-old toasted cheese sandwich said to bear her image was sold on eBay $28,000 in 2004.

An Arlington,Texas woman said she has discovered a grape that bears a figure resembling the Virgin Mary.

Becky Ginn, 24, says she is a Baptist.

"I thought this stuff just happened to Catholics?" she said. "Mom and I had a laugh about it at first, seeing as how we're Baptists and all and we generally don't expect to see holy people popping up in our foodstuffs."

Ginn posted a photo of the grape to her LiveJournal page and was urged to contact the media. NBC 5 was her first choice, she said.

 "I haven't made a shrine to it, nor prayed to it, nor done much of anything except e-mail the picture to a few friends and roll it around in the bowl in the fridge," Ginn said.

Friends have suggested she "eBay it."

"The logistics involved in shipping it to any buyer would be interesting," Ginn said.

Burton Klatt, of Sun City, has been digging for the yellow stuff for years and has cases showcasing the nuggets he's found.
However, getting more attention than the rest is one nugget that he said is shaped like the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus.
At first, he thought it looked like a horse. His wife was the one who spotted the holy shape.
The family magnified the image on paper and saw the Madonna and child more clearly. "You can see the nose and eyes," Burton Klatt said.
The nugget weighs less than an ounce and is smaller than a BB. The Klatts said it has been popular among famly and close friends. But after keeping it to themselves for a year, the couple decided to share it with others.
"I don't see how anyone could think we're nuts, because they could look at it and they could see it," Carole Klatt said.
Neither of the Klatts claim to be very religious, but they said the piece has bolstered their spirituality.
"We weren't religious before," Burton Klatt said. "I'm a believer, but this helps out."
