Woman 'blessed by the Holy Toast'

A half-eaten slice of cheese on toast purportedly showing the image of the Virgin Mary has got online bargain-hunters licking their lips. A Florida woman put the item up for sale, claiming it has brought her great luck since she found it 10 years ago.

She described how she came across the mysterious morsel. "I made this sandwich 10 years ago. When I took a bite out of it, I saw a face looking up at me; it was Virgin Mary starring (sic) back at me. I was in total shock," she explained. Mrs Duyser has since kept the toastie surrounded by cotton wool, in a plastic container on a stand.

But Mrs Duyser added a note for any misguided bidder who might consider paying thousands - or millions - of dollars for a blessed breakfast snack. "I would like all bidders to know that this item is not intended for consumption," she made clear.


:D :D :D :D
