Late Breaking News: the Virgin Mary tree stump

Um, yes...
this is too good...

Several workmen tending the grounds of a church in Limerick a few days ago, discovered the shape of the Virgin Mary in a tree stump. After chopping down the said tree, "One of the lads said look, our Blessed Lady in the tree,' Mr White said. 'One of the other lads looked over and actually knelt down and blessed himself, he got such a shock.' 'It was the perfect shape of the figure of Our Lady holding the baby,' he said.

Despite great skepticism from the Church, hundreds of people have flocked to the site to pray and light candles and thousands have signed a petition to prevent the removal of the tree stump from the Church grounds.
Local parish priest Fr Willie Russell said on radio station Limerick Live 95FM yesterday that people should not worship the tree. “There’s nothing there . . . it’s just a tree . . . you can’t worship a tree.” Um, yes you can.
