The tree is on the property of Betty Jo Hernandez, who has lived there for 20 years. She feels it is there for a reason. "I think it might be a sign" said Janie Gutierrez, neighbor to Hernandez. Janie's daughter Adrianna said "I think there are believers." People have flocked from all over to see the unusual tree. To admire it, take pictures and some even think it could be healing, bring miracles and peace to their house to take a piece of the tree home. One person has left the picture of their wheelchair bound daughter. Others are lighting candles, and have come to pray.
Betty Jo Hernandez just happened to look up one day at the tree and noticed the image of Christ on the twisted branches, and thought "it was something so beautiful." "It looks like God when he was on the cross" said Adriana. "I think we get signs all over the world as to, 'Don't forget about me, because there's a lot of things going on in the world right now. I am a firm believer in God and I do believe he sends signs" Janie said.

Post a CommentI am a Christian, but I am skeptical of these events. Great story.
LISTEN TO THIS ALL YEE HEATHEN AND ADULTUROUS GENERATION OF AMERICA. YOU ARE DUMB NOT TO PERCEIVE THE SIGNS OF TIME... ITS JUDGMENT UPON YOU GREAT USA!!! HAVING BEGAN ON A CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION, INSCRIBED IN YOUR OWN CONSTITUTION. NOW YOU HAVE CRUCIFIED HIM IN YOUR OWN LAND AND YOU CAN'T ESCAPE IT!! REPENT OR PERISH
I think it's people's imaginations when they see something like this.
I agree, there are many of these sightings, where something looks like a religious figure and people say "it's a miracle". Its when statues start crying that I take notice.
I searched for a JPEG but there wasn't one. I also would like to see one, sorry.
I checked out some pictures on the Internet and I don't know. Maybe it is one of those things where you have to be there. Good article!
Interesting. I mean, I've heard of Jesus in a potato chip, but now a tree? I kind of wish this article had a still frame of that. The link wasn't too helpful.
Very strange!
