One
resident of Rhode Island is convinced that an image of Jesus has appeared on a
silver maple outside his home in North Providence.
Brian
Quirk was returning from visiting his father's grave on October 12 - the sixth
anniversary of his death - when he spotted the image.
While
others might walk past the 3-inch marking and give it no further thought, Quirk
and his mother believe it resembles Jesus.
And
while others might not agree, Quirk and his mother are happy to believe it.
They
see it as particularly meaningful because the tree marks a special place for
Quirk's father prior to his death.
Quirk,
who is recovering from open heart surgery, told The Valley Breeze: "Curiously, it is in the same area where my
father would sit outside during his last few months before losing his battle
with cancer."
He
described it as a "natural organic phenomenon to the faithful" and added that
his devout Catholic mother "finds comfort knowing the image is there".
"Its
ability to evoke a spiritual sense of awe is immeasurable," he
said.
