A BARBER found Jesus — when he spotted what looks like Christ’s face on a CHURCH wall.Crimper Alan Stocks, 40, clocked the amazing likeness while taking a break between customers outside his shop.
The gritty image even has a BEARD like Jesus and a crown of thorns made from moss growing on the stone.
The wall runs down one side of Greenock Westburn Church in the Inverclyde town. And last night delighted Alan said: “I noticed the face on the wall as soon as I saw it — it’s incredible. It definitely looks like Jesus.
“I was outside having a wee break and the face caught my eye — I’ve never noticed it before.
“I usually come to the same place most days for a break
“But it’s really strange that it’s on a church wall as well especially with it coming up for Easter. It’s as if it’s just appeared at this time of the year.”
Alan showed the face to his wife Sharon, 38, who was also struck by the likeness to Jesus, and took a photo to show pals.
Alan added: “Everyone I’ve shown the picture to has been the same — they’ve been stunned to see the face.
“And it’s certainly a mystery as to how it has appeared on the wall now.”
Greenock Westburn’s minister Rev Douglas Hamilton is yet to see the image. But he said last night: “If it brings a smile to people’s faces I’m happy with it.
“Though I’m not expecting flocks of pilgrims down to see it.”
The incredible likeness is the latest in a string of amazing sightings of Christ around the world.
Last February we told how shocked furniture maker Craig O’Connor spotted a figure bearing an uncanny resemblance to Jesus staring in a chopped tree trunk. He put the wood on internet auction site eBay, but nobody would pay more than £350 for it so he decided to try and make it into furniture.
