Woman sees portrait of Christ in floor tiles
It’s been claimed that images of Jesus Christ have appeared on everything from water stains to potato chips. Often those images fade. But one West Valley woman says she has had the likeness of Jesus in every one of her kitchen tiles for eight years.
Antonia Baker saw the image in the floor of her Lakes home for the first time three years ago during the Christmas season while she was recovering from surgery for an eye injury. Doctors said she had to keep her head down to allow her retina to heal. She wasn’t allowed to read or use the computer, so she had to stare at the floor for three weeks.
That much concentration led her to see an image that had always been in the 13-by-13-inch ceramic tiles, but had never been recognized.
“I never noticed for five years. I never even looked,” she said. “It didn’t manufacture itself. It was just always there.”
The image of Jesus from the waist up and facing to the left is the same in every tile, so it likely was made during manufacturing, she said. Baker bought the tiles about eight years ago from a shop that is no longer in business. However, it’s possible others purchased the same tile and could be walking on Jesus too.

[From me]
I know Jesus said He was the door, but the tile?

Kevin, you’re terrible. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. Just be sure to wipe your feet.
Something about “acknowledge Him in all our ways” (which means to ascertain by seeing)?
At least folks like that seem to be looking for Jesus. Hope someone’s there to affirm they know where He really is.

Kevin…I really think you should look around your “temporary” housing…who knows what you might find there that has Jesus in it or on it! That may just be why you are there! Look brother!

Steve H,
Trust me in the apt we are moving out of today there are a lot of images I could find in the carpet & the bathroom flooring! Thank God we are going to a new one as I type!
Just what is your fascination with these images that others think they can see?
Francoise,
Cause I think it is strange that people think they see someone who they don’t even know what He looks like!
