The Messiah's face has certainly been on a far-reaching tour, having appeared on naan bread in Surrey, on the window of a Tennesse man's pick-up and on the arm of a US woman, in the guise of a bruise.
We're always kept guessing as to where he'll pop up next, which as it turns out is in Rhondda, Wales, in the Allen household. On a Marmite lid.
It's not quite as clear-cut as other sightings, though. Perhaps the face of Jesus is losing its touch.
But the Allens are convinced that they've seen something heavenly.
It was Claire Allen who first noticed it, as she spread the spicy paste on her son's toast, and husband Gareth was left gobsmacked.
"The kids are still eating it, but we kept the lid," he said.
"Claire saw it first and called her dad to come and take a photo of it.
"When I first looked at it I wasn't sure, but when I moved it away from me it started coming out. I thought yeah, she's right - that's the image of Jesus."
Claire was as equally convinced and explained how her sons were left in awe by the holiness of what they saw: "Straight away Jamie said 'that looks like God', and my other boys (Robbie, four, and Tomas, 11) even said they could see a face," she told the South Wales Echo.
"People might think I'm nuts, but I like to think it's Jesus looking out for us.
"We've had a tough couple of months; my mum's been really ill and it's comforting to think that if he is there, he's watching over us."
Idolatry ....has it ever occurred to these folks no one knows what Jesus looked like?
Evidently not, as pieces of toast are declared ‘miracles’.
{Looking up to Heaven}: "Help me, Rhondda ... help, help me, Rhondda!"
Its, its, so anthropomorphic mom!
