I wonder if the neighbor’s dog provided some holy water for it.
An uncanny likeness of the Virgin Mary formed into the bark of a Scarborough tree has left dumbfounded residents wondering if their neighbourhood has been divinely blessed.
Some have even been brought to tears by the surreal Mary in the tree.
“I don’t know why it’s there, but I think it’s a blessing,” said Christopher Moreau, 47, who discovered the tree-bound Mary last week. “It raises the hair on your neck, it gives you chills.”
It was after work and Moreau had just opened a beer in the backyard of his Danforth and Birchmount Rds.-area home when he noticed the familiar image of the Virgin, her arms outstretched, in his neighbour’s tree.
“I’m not a wacko,” Moreau said yesterday, adding he was stone-cold sober.
Last night my girl friend fixed spaghetti for dinner and this showed up:

I have to say, this is one of the better appearances of Mary in nature. That’s pretty amazing!
Cut it down, use it for firewood. It would be more useful in keeping people warm.
(But make sure and plant another one in its place!)
Everyone sees it’s not Mary – it’s Joseph! As you know, he was Mary’s fiance, but it was a platonic relationship and it certainly didn’t influence the fact that she got pregnant with Jeeza. (Yeah, right.)
There are 1,233,332,905,234,185,335,993,225,258,335,322,000 trees in the world. Odds are Mary, Jesus, Joseph, and Judas are going to “appear” on 4 of them.
Some have even been brought to tears by the surreal Mary in the tree.
I guess seeing Virgin Mary with a beard, wasn’t really what they wished for.

“…has left dumbfounded residents wondering if their neighbourhood has been divinely blessed.”
Not dumbfounded, just dumb.
By the power of Reason I expel you Demon of Stupidity! Some times a tree is just a tree.
“Why do I need to go to church?” Moreau added. “I feel that God has come to me.”
I’m glad you think you’re so special, but apparently you’re not.

It’s his Neighbor’s tree! I wonder is his neighbor is an Atheist…
Wait… I got this one… I can help…

Pareidolia strikes again. This small site has some interesting explanations for this type of image transference.
Looks more like a dementor (See Potter, Harry) to me.
Put up a fence. Put a tent around the tree and chare the people 20 to see it. Then sell them a T shirt for another 20. Then you can sell them a bag of Maple seeds for another 10.
Remember to tell you friends !
