Virgin Mary spotted on a Restaurant Griddle

In April 2009, an outline of the Virgin Mary was spotted on a food griddle at a restaurant on the California/Mexico border.

Hilda Maciel, a chef at the Las Palmas restaurant in the small border town of Calexico, discovered the image when cleaning the griddle.

The restaurant’s general manager Brenda Martinez told Associated Press that, after local churchman Reverend Gerardo Fernandez confirmed the image was a true likeness of the Virgin, more than 100 people flocked to restaurant to view it. Among the onlookers was a group of masked Mexican wrestlers in town for an exhibition.
