09/24 11:58 Jesus said appearing nightly at Canadian doughnut shop
BRAS D'OR, Nova Scotia, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Jesus may be trying to send a message to night owls on their midnight doughnut binges. Or perhaps He just craves a cup of coffee.
Either way, hundreds of people are flocking to the Tim Horton's doughnut shop in the small Cape Breton Island town of Bras D'Or on Canada's Atlantic coast to see a Christ-like image that has inexplicably appeared on an outside wall.
The apparition first showed up on Monday and was said to be clearly visible to staff at a restaurant across the road under the shop's floodlights.
"They removed the light yesterday ... but now apparently you can see it towards the side of the building, as if the image has moved," said a waitress at the nearby Lick-a-Chick restaurant.
"People are coming from far and wide to see it."
The waitress, who did not want to be identified, said there is little to see in the daylight -- the image is clearest at night -- but there were traffic jams around the doughnut shop on Thursday morning as the curious and credulous flocked to the site.
"Apparently, it's really, really busy up there already today. I guess the traffic is crazy and there's cars parked all around," said Diane Slopek, a spokeswoman for the Tim Horton's chain, which is owned by Wendy's International Inc <WEN.N>.
"We're just puzzled by the whole situation." |
