pilgrims have been gathering today outside the national gallery where a tourist has found a painting with what looks like an image of Jesus' face on it.
shocked staff flocked to see what the Vatican is calling "a bloody miracle", or as Mrs Washington of Delaware USA, the finder of the painting said "a sign from god".
it is common for images of Jesus and his mum, Madonna (the other one) on other items like tomatoes, toasted cheese sandwiches and the sides of buildings - but never has anyone reported seeing a likeness of him in a painting.
Lourdes style queues of pilgrims quickly appeared to be blessed by the canvass with paint on.
Prof Gregory Peck, the chief curator said, "all these years we just thought it was a bit of cloth with oil smeared of it - we always wondered who the little fella nailed to the cross reminded us of, but it took an insightful viewing from one of our American cousins to make us finally see the light". Prof Peck was later dismissed for using the "see the light" pun.
The Pope may visit the gallery himself, but "mainly to see the picture of that larger lady with her norks hanging out", as one insider put it.
Mrs Washington summed up the whole experience as, " one of those things that happens, but when it happens its like you know, i cant believe this is happening to me, But it is!", she may be an imbecile.
