Jesus appearing nightly at doughnut shop?
BRAS D'OR, Nova Scotia (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 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 toward 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 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 - news)
''We're just puzzled by the whole situation.''
