Face of Jesus appears in elderly man's bacon and egg breakfast taco



A Texas man found Jesus Christ in the middle of breakfast last week and the revelation came in his bacon and egg taco.



Ernesto Garza, 80, says he was busy munching away when he realized that Christ was staring back at him -- his face visible in the burn marks of the tortilla.



Now, Garza keeps the half-eaten taco wrapped in foil and stashed in the back of his refrigerator. But, he's not shy about showing it off to anyone who asks.

Do you see it? Ernesto Garza, 80, says he is certain this is the face of Jesus Christ, imprinted in his bacon and egg breakfast taco

'It's a blessing from God,' Mr Garza told KTVB news.



He's hoping to keep the taco and eventually figure out how to preserve it so he can frame it to hang on his wall.



Mr Garza got his taco at La Amistad Adult Daycare in Beeville, a small city between Corpus Christie and San Antonio. Workers in the cafeteria still make the flour tortillas by hand every day.



The director of the facility, says she was in the midst of family turbulence when she prayed to God for a sign the night before Mr Garza discovered the taco.



'We believe God works in mysterious ways,' Angie Rodriguez said.



Mr Garza almost missed the face of Christ -- he was too busy eating. By chance, he took a second look at the dark brown mark on the tortilla. He didn't realize what he had in front of him at first, though.

'I looked at it for five minutes,' he said.

Finally, he realized what he was staring at was none other than a sign from God -- the face of Chris revealed in his taco.



'Here's the eyes, nose, mouth, mustache,' he told KRIS-TV.



Mr Garza is only the latest person to see the face of the son of God in unusual, mundane thing.



Last month, the owner of a Chinese takeout restaurant saw Christ's face in the dirty, peeling paint on the side of his building in Sunderland in northeast England.



In March, an interior decorator saw Jesus in a partially-plastered wall in Austwick in North Yorkshire, England.



He has also been spotted in a field in Hungary, a sneezed-in tissue and a bottle of hard cider.
