Jesus on the Cross in Granite Slab?

Published by Kevin Bussey at 5:00 pm under apparitions, stupid

[Fox News]

A granite distributor in Florida expects to fetch a good price for a 400-year-old slab that he says bears an image of Jesus Christ pinned to the cross.

Read about it here.

[From me]

How do they know it is not one of thief’s on the cross?

What do you think?

[UPDATE]

The more I look at it–doesn’t it look like “Rocky?”  You know, the statue?

    I believe that would be thieves, but it could well be.

    I first thought of a Texas Longhorn when I saw it.

    Why do people think they know what Jesus looked like? Arggghhh.

    I read the story, including the full Tampa Bay report, and perhaps I’m missing something but wasn’t Jesus on the cross approximately 2,000 years ago, not 400? (The Fox story says “400-year-old slab,” while the Tampa story says 400-pound piece,” so perhaps the Fox story had it wrong?). But so much more important than that, weren’t there thousands of people over the years who were crucified on crosses? I’m just curious as to why anyone would automatically think this has anything to do with Jesus. Again, maybe I’m missing something. :)

    Rocky… yeah, that’s it! I think those movies have been around for about 400 years. ;) I think the image is trying to say something. I inclined my ear and I think I heard a faint, “Yo, Paulie.”

    Psa 18:31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? :)

    It’s neither Jesus nor one of the thieves. It’s Spartacus.

    Francoise,

    It is great to have you back. :)
