Some may see just a simple stain on the wall, but one East Bakersfield family say their home has been blessed with a miracle.

Elvia Alvarez was recently using her blender to make salsa in her kitchen. Some of the salsa splattered onto the wall, creating what Alvarez says is the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Alvarez says it’s no coincidence. She believes it to be a sign from the blessed mother that people need to start being good toward one another.

Since this happened, Alvarez says at times there’s been the strong smell of roses in her home though there aren’t any fresh roses nearby her home on Northrup Street.

In Bakersfield, when you ask someone if they’ve heard about the apparition of the Virgin Mary – they reply, “Which one?”

    Some see Jesus, I see a hand grabbing some balls.

    “She believes it to be a sign from the blessed mother that people need to start being good toward one another.”

    Start? I think that’s been the message for at least 2000 years. You shouldn’t need a blender stain to tell you that.

  3. QB says:

    The Lions winning a game this year – now that would be a miracle.

  4. Special Ed says:

    I see blood splatter from a shotgun blast.

  5. the answer says:

    I’ve seen a lot of supposed “blessed” stains and what not, but this one really looks like the blessed mother. …Almost too much like the blessed mother.

  6. Dallas says:

    #6 I’ve seen better. I’m quite disappointed with this salsa batch.

    Note the fat bottom lip and the arms are alien like or praying mantis like.

  7. Sinn Fein says:

    God works in mysterious ways, not salsa! Now, had this been Jesus or Mary’s image in salsa CHIPS, that’d be a whole different ballgame now wouldn’t it?

    Me? I’m more of a Jesus-on-the-grilled-cheese sandwich Believer.

  8. Mr. Fusion says:

    I’ve tasted her Salsa before and it really belongs in the garbage, not on the wall.

    Now my home made Salsa. That will put you in heaven!!!

  9. AdmFubar says:

    why cant god draw anymore??? the alzheimers ha has must really be advanced now… 🙁

  10. zorkor says:

    Looks like Satan who took a shower in tomato sauce.Sheesh!

  11. Sinn Fein says:

    IF this were Miguel’s Fresh Salsa sold in Chicagoland Cub stores, then there is an excellent chance this IS a sign from God!

  12. Benjamin says:

    I see a woman. How do we know what woman it is?

    Did the Virgin Mary have any distinguishing features? Was there a photograph of the real Virgin Mary taken back when she was checking into the stable/birthing center 2000 years ago?

    If not how do we know it is the Blessed Virgin Mary and not an apparition of the Blessed Ayn Rand appearing to warn us against the Bailout of the Big Three Auto companies?

    It’s the preying-mantis arms. They give it away. Great for changing swaddling clothes.

    Even today, we revere people with insect-like arms. Look at Vincent Price in “The Fly”.

  14. James Hill says:

    The flying salsa monster?

  15. bobbo says:

    Everybody believes in Salsa. You can buy it in jars at the store or make your own. No supernatural mystery.

  16. Benjamin says:

    #14 Mister Mustard

    Ayn Rand also had Preying Mantis arms. Handy for snapping the heads off of evil Statists. How do I tell the two women apart. I demand to see the image in a higher resolution.

    More like woman bun battled by donkey. Well then that could of been a Mary after all nobody rides for free.
