As the Bible says, Jesus can be found anywhere. But it probably didn't mean a wall in Edroth, Yorkshire.

Sam Dalby was decorating when he noticed the strange face in a a section of wall.

"I hadn’t seen the face earlier on when I was working close up to it," reported the Daily Mail.

"It was only when I sat down that it turned up," he said. "I was sitting face-to-face with Jesus."

But Dalby said that he was not moved enough by the humbling discovery to stop him in his work.

Shortly after snapping a picture of the ghostly face he painted over it with two coats of emulsion.

"The paint is a similar colour to a shroud so it felt appropriate," he told the Mail.

The image of Jesus has been found in dozens of strange and surprising places over the years - from a field in Hungary to a sock and a grilled cheese sandwich.

So all these pictures of Jesus or the christ, or john the Baptist or any of the 12: Just how do they know what they looked like? What they had digital cameras 2,000 years ago? Davinci painted them OH NO HE WAS about a 1,000+ years too late also. So no one has a picture how do they know it's a picture of Jesus, it could be a pictue of my Uncle Percvial, or somebody else?

When making a sandwitch, I saw the face of Jesus in the margarine dish. I was so shocked that I called my Buddist neighbour. When he looked he said that he thought it was Buddah

Does anyone really know what Jesus Christ actually looked like? The most common pictures and sculptures we see of him today are only a few hundred years old and they were only painted by someone who thought that's how he should look. I always find it remarkable though that "most" miracle pictures of him, or crying statues of either him or his mother, mainly seem to appear in Catholic countries so it's quite remarkable that in this case he's popped up in Yorkshire. Just looking at the picture above though, I would say that the guy who found it, is a bit of a rotten decorator, judging by the mess he's made and what's with all the wires coming through the wall? That doesn't look very safe.

To give the Painter the benefit of the doubt, I would suggest that this house is having a refurb with the state it's in.

Okay but that still doesn't explain the wires coming through the wall.

Gosh, it your every day imaginary friend. But seriously, how does anyone know what the chap looked like?

Jesus, if he existed would not have been white caucasian, but with more of a sandy coloured
complexion. As you say, how does anyone know what he may have looked like.

why not some guy with a beard!!!
does jesus have a superiority complex that he needs to plaster his face every where.
isnt religion suposed to be about having faith without any proof. well if its jesus, and this is proof of his existance, it just proves jesus and god DONT exist.
