Diners report seeing Virgin Mary in food griddle

CALEXICO, Calif. – The hottest thing on the griddle at the Las Palmas restaurant these days isn't the food — it's the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe that a cook says she saw on the griddle.
Restaurant manager Brenda Martinez says more than 100 people have flocked to the small town of Calexico on the California-Mexico border to gaze at the likeness of the Virgin Mary since it was discovered as the griddle was being cleaned.
Among the awe-struck was a group of masked Mexican wrestlers who arrived Thursday for an exhibition at a nearby swap meet.
One, known as Mr. Tempest, says: "This is amazing. It's a true miracle."
Since the discovery, the griddle has been taken out of service and placed in a shrine in a storage room.



Diners: Virgin Mary in food griddle

it is a greese stain, it is silly and not a miracle, but if it brings people closer to Christ is it a bad thing?

I am not sure how making a stained griddle into a shrine brings anyone closer to Christ.
Closer to the griddle perhaps.
Closer to the grease perhaps.
But beyond that - ....

it gets people thinking about spiritual things, gets people thinking about Jesus and His Mother.
Anything, even something as silly as a greese stain, that reminds people of Our Lord and His Mother in such a secular world is a good thing in my book

even though many Catholics hang our heads in shame when something like this hits the news

It's most likely a grease stain. Is this an attempt to discredit the Catholic faith because someone has this griddle?

Now that’s just plain stupid! Probably is a hoax to increase business.

THOUHGTS?

Unfortunately its not even a good picture of the stain!!

But if it's only attracted 100 people, it can't be that wondrous.

These sort of things turn up all the time. They bear no comparison to the message-bearing and faith-building apparitions formally approved by the Church.

I agree.

I hope not.




I think most all, if not all of these kinds of images just occur naturally.
But who I am to say how they came to be?
These images bring some closer to Jesus and the Virgin Mary, I think that is a good thing.
