ORLANDO, Fla. -- An apparent image of Jesus that appears and then vanishes in the bark of a tree has grabbed the attention of a Central Florida neighborhood.
The mysterious image in the trunk of a tree only appears after dark at Joe Lewis' home located on Saragoza Court in the Dr. Phillips area.
"I'm not really hardcore religious," Lewis said. "I thought it was something cool. I didn't think it was something to go crazy over or anything like that."
Lewis said the image appears every night and then vanishes.
"The face forms where the knot is," Lewis said. "Then, when you come down, there is texture. There are waves in the tree and that forms the knees and the feet. Then when the sun goes down, the street light that is right above the tree casts shadows across it and forms something that looks like Jesus."
The tree can be seen from the street in Lewis' neighborhood.

How would they know what Jesus looked like?
Gandalf was the 1st thing that popped into my mind when I saw it.
Hulk Hogan?
We know precisely what Jesus looked like.
Call me skeptical, but it seem to me that should Jesus bother to pay us a visit, he would likely come as Himself instead of a tree. Of course, I also doubt that the Holy Mother showed up as a piece of toast.
But what do I know.... over a year ago I would have never dreamed that Satan would come to earth as a racist Black running for president.
Sasquatch maybe....?
Well, Barack Obama sees dead people.
won’t be too long i imagine we will hear that the mindless obamaloons are seeing hussein in a tree too
We do?
Can you post an image of him?
Yeah, what do we know of Jesus’ face? That shadow looks like the gratefully-dead Jerry Garcia to me. Or maybe the should-be-dead Willy Nelson.
I think it looks like Warren Jeffs....
Well, Barack Obama sees dead people
He also knows some Kerry, Ted, Pelosi, Ried, Durbin, Waters and the rest of this ineffective congress.
Fixed your post.
Words have meanings. We have a good idea what the Lord looked like, from early Christian religious artifacts and art work, but not even remotely something called "precise"
Another case of mistaken identity.
This is clearly the Prophet Muhammed.
Ever see the cinnamon bun that looked like Mother Teresa?
LOL...
No, but I am not surprised.
Man, was I wrong! I’ve always read that Jesus was a Jew.
He must have used relaxer in his hair for that actual photograph.
Treebeard, is that you? Still searching for the Entwives? Try across town, at Tupper Ware HQ!
