Image of Virgin Mary is on Baptist's Woman's Grapes in Arlington Texas!!




I have to admit like ROD I love this stuff too and also probably not for the right reasons :).

This is pretty funny here is a few parts:

Ms. Ginn, 24, of Arlington bought the grapes at a nearby Tom Thumb last week. Many of the other grapes also looked rotten by Tuesday, but none of the others had the iconic image of the Virgin Mary.
A makeup artist, Ms. Ginn said she’s seen in the media other images of the Holy Family portrayed in food, but she certainly never expected to discover one herself — especially as a devout Baptist.
“It was pretty ironic,” she said. “My mom and I had a pretty good laugh about it
.” .....

Ms. Ginn said many people have been energized by the image, but some have questioned its authenticity. Ms. Ginn said she has not altered the image.
“I can Photoshop a zit off someone’s face,” she said. “I can’t Photoshop the Virgin Mary onto a grape.”
Ms. Ginn said she is thinking about trying to sell the grape on eBay, where others have sold food reincarnations of religious figures. Any profit would go to her church, Fielder Road Baptist Church in Arlington, she said.
She said she has no intention of trivializing the experience.
“I'm all for showing that God sometimes does have a sense of humor,” she said
.

Rod has more and the link at Virgin Mary appears on a Texas grape!

Well goodness who knows. If Mary can get the Baptists there will no stoppingus now :)
