Jesus’ latest appearance in his magical mystery tour took place in a tree stump.

A Bucks County woodworker said he found Jesus in a tree stump and some are calling the find a piece of “divine pine.”

Next time you take a good look at a tree, you might wonder if it is harboring a divine message from the heavens.

Protectively wrapped in a piece of ostrich leather is what Bensalem’s Craig O’Connor calls a slab of a New Jersey pine tree he cut down in a friend’s Burlington County yard in January 2007.

The image he saw in the remaining stump stopped him in his tracks.

“When I seen it, I was just in awe, I think it’s Jesus, Jesus’ head … it looks like he is ascending into heaven,” O’Connor said.

And where else has Jesus been lately?

From PinkTentacle.com:

This suit of dog armor — identified by antique Japanese armor dealer Toraba.Com as the only known and certified authentic example of its kind — is believed to have been created for the pet of a wealthy, high-ranking and presumably eccentric samurai or daimyo (feudal lord) in the mid to late Edo period (mid-18th to mid-19th century). Although the carved wooden helmet and coat of black-lacquered scale mail would have provided effective protection against enemy attack, evidence suggests the canine never wore the armor into battle. More likely, the suit served as a decorative costume for parades and other formal ceremonial occasions.

Very nice.
