The tree stump at Belfast City Cemetery appears to show an image of Jesus Christ

An image of the face of Jesus Christ has appeared on a tree stump in a Belfast cemetery.

The tree, which was recently felled at Belfast City Cemetery in west Belfast, appears to show the face of a bearded man resembling Jesus on the remaining stump beside a grave.

A video (below) of the mysterious image has been posted to YouTube, with the message: "An image has appeared on a tree stump in Belfast's City Cemetery.

"Upon close inspection, its hard to tell just how this image got there.

"Recently City Council employees trimmed trees in the cemetery, and as a result this phenomenon appeared."
