RAVENA, N.Y.
A New York state man says he has discovered Jesus Christ in a coffee stain on the inside of a mason jar drinking mug.
Jerry Stolfi, 49, says he saw the face of Jesus face wearing the crown of thorns after finishing a cup of coffee. He is now keeping the mug carefully stored in a cupboard that has been re-dubbed a “shrine.
“It doesn’t smell, though, and I will never be washing it,” he said.
Stolfi said not everyone sees the same image when they look at the glass.
“It’s 50-50,” he said. “I don’t blame those that don’t see the image. I saw it straight off the bat.”
“You don’t hear about an image like this coming to everybody every day,” he said. “It’s so rare. He selected me for some reason.”
Stolfi e-mailed the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany twice and said he left a voice mail message, but received no response, which upset him.
