An ordinary Sunday service at an-as-yet-unidentified church recently yielded somewhat unexpected consequences when one observant parishioner paid closer attention to one of the stained glass windows and noticed something peculiar.
The scene depicted on the glass appears to portray the Virgin Mary holding Jesus in her arms following the crucifixion.
However, the image’s shading makes it look like an oblong object is sticking out of Jesus’ robes, leading one person to wonder aloud on Twitter “What, exactly..., is Mary holding ??”
