In May 2006 52-year-old Martin Gregory from Belvedere in Kent, UK, was tending his garden when he came across a remarkable sight: the face of Jesus in the roots of a plant. Mr Gregory removed an asparagus plant from its pot, which had been in the garden for 20 years, because he thought it was dying. But in the plant’s root system Mr Gregory saw the face of Jesus. It was “the most weird thing I have ever seen…. The roots are fantastic” said Mr Gregory. “You can actually make out a thorn crown around his head, his eyes and nose.” Mr Gregory is not religious but said the image in the roots “looked so much like his face it took my breath away.”
