It sort of looks to me like an ape with its face elongated. I can't see a woman in that at all.

The question that should be asked, is; How do they know what mary looks like, for them to say it is her? Don't remember any paintings or statues ever being done of her. For all they know, it could be Mary Bloggs from up the street.
Nother point: Why are jesus and her always represented as a European looking people. Could'a sworn they were of middle eastern origin, yet I have seen some pictures depicting them both and they have blonde hair. ?

I see it....but she's had a botched tracheotomy. Poor thing. There was a tradition among the early Church Fathers that Mary smoked, so I guess this is her. She's a long way from the lemon-fresh virgin we all remember.

At first I thought I saw Nick Nolte.. But, looking closer I see Elvis. If that's Mary, it's a rather unflattering likeness.

Madre de dios! Nick Nolte appeared to me on a lemon and said to me: "Get the hell outta my face!"
I think I can get two hundred bucks for it on E-Bay

No one ever said she was a great beauty.

Huh. I had a quick look and I couldn't find anything that mentioned it. Well, in that case, maybe the lemon is right and her looks are somewhere between a young Elvis and Nick Nolte after a bender.

I guess my pattern recognition subsystem is broken.
All I see is a bruised lemon.

After careful analysis, I think - from this lemon - we can surmise what Jesus may have looked like:

I was just telling my husband that in the church I attended as a child, Jesus was as blond, blue-eyed and of Germanic descent as me. I was surprised later on to discover Jesus was middle Eastern.

It looks like Muhammad. The lemon should be put to death for depicting the prophet.

Actually the Koran permits likenesses depicted on citrus fruits. One of the phrases used to describe Allah is "fruity goodness".

I've seen African representations of an Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy as a black man.
It would not surprise me if victims of Christian-flavored religious delusions in Asia had Asian looking imaginary deity images.
It seems appropriate since man created doG in his own image. That's also why he is so mean, nasty, and seems to be Republican.
But getting back to the imaginary virginity of the imaginary mother of an imaginary deity, there was also a recent sighting in Minersville PA involving sunshine on a glass window that was reflected across the street onto a garage door. As proof that it is a miracle the angle of incidence is clearly equal to the angle of reflection. It's all documented at

I couldn't see much in the stone, but you should start praying to that wall.

I'm no Fruitatologist, but I believe the red parts on fruits are the sweetest. If I were you, I would forego thoughts of a 'fungus' and suck directly on "Mary's face". I believe you'd be pleasantly surprised with the fruity goodness.

ETA: Now wouldn't that be a cool horror movie? When you see a vision of the Virgin Mary, you better start chanting your rosary or she'll come after you in seven days. You don't want to see the things she'll do with your heart.
