Holy hosiery! English woman sees face of Jesus in sock

According to Irish Central, Sarah Crane, a 38-year-old resident of Orpington in Kent, told British newspapers that she was stunned when the image of Jesus stared back at her from her laundry line.

Sarah Crane was left stunned when she hung out her laundry to dry and discovered the face of Jesus staring back at her from a crumpled sock. She was so impressed by the clarity of the face she even built a shrine to the sock.

“I called my boyfriend over straight away - we could both clearly see the face of Jesus in the sock. We think it’s a bit of a sign - but for what we don’t know.”

A close-up of the Jesus sock. Do you see Him?

Jesus sightings in everyday objects are nothing new.  Jesus has been spotted on an iron, an ultrasound, in a Cheetos bag (Cheesus), and even on a Walmart receipt.  In 2004, a grilled cheese sandwich with an image of his mom, Mary, sold for $28,000.

This holiday season, Galen Dively, a Vermont entrepreneur, is capitalizing on the hunger for Jesus crust. For $31.95, you don’t have to wait for a miracle to see Jesus on your daily bread. Look no further than the Jesus Toaster. Available through Burnt Impressions, the toaster contains a specially designed metal plate that leaves an image of Jesus -- with halo and rays of light -- on every slice.

    It's CLEARLY the face of Mel Gibson. Who played Jesus. In the Passion of the Christ.

    Praise Gibson!

      Gee, mum, I found my wrinkled sock from the laundry, I think I will decide it is a religous figure's face on it. Well, this really looks like one of the Mentiads from a Doctor Who episodes back in the 70's says mum. But you wont get any press if you say that so best stick with the religious icon. Oh, by the way best hide the iron and porcelin figure you use to put the face on the sock....Oh, and you are going to come across as a nutter, I wont admit to knowing you then.

      So fake and such a coincidence, this woman has spent too much time sniffin the fabric softner or detergent and bleach while doing the laundry, this example is not Jesus but like I said above a 70's Dr. Who character, I think many would like to have what she is using to see these things so they can have the "rush" she seems to be getting.

        God will punish Jim Seida for this. In fact, He probably already has and is simply continuing the punishment for the rest of Seida's sorry life.

                It does look like a face, if you have the imagination to see it. But it doesn't mean it is Jesus. Lol. Some of these people are so crazy. And probably just money hungry. But this is just getting a little ridiculous. smh

                  Yeah, Jennifer, I agree with you. It does look like a face. However to me it is the kind of thing you can see if you watch clouds roll by long enough.

                  And as you stated, this kind of stuff is just getting ridiculous.

                  Also, I think it looks a bit too malevolent to be Christ. The laundry lady might want to think twice before she builds a shrine to it.

                  P.S. Jennifer, I love your kitty photo.

                    Jesus must have been shocked, suddenly finding himself reincarnated as a sock in Britain.

                        My two year old son smeared shaving cream on my bathroom mirror before bed, I had just pulled a double shift so I went to bed and planned on cleaning it up in the morning. As it dried it left a perfect picture of my husband down to the detail ( I left it up and had my whole family come over to look at it....yeah, I have no life :) I don't see Jesus in this sock but if it makes this lady happy so be it. There is so much pain and suffering if she gets a little joy out of it then great!
