Jesus' Face on Occidental Grand Pot

Wishful Thinking

Jesus's face has materialized on the side of the enameled terra cotta planter at a Cozumel resort hotel.

"The first person who saw it was a receptionist. Then the guests started coming to see it and before long people were praying and lighting candles," said a security guard near the pot, which is roped off with a crimson cord strung between brass poles and has a simple candle burning in front of it,

"A lot of people wept when they saw it. There was a lot of emotion because it appeared after everyone spent three days together in the storm shelter," said the guard, declining to give his name.
