Mexican Village Celebrates Mushroom With Image Of Jesus On It

Mexican Village Celebrates Mushroom With Image Of Jesus On It

Usually if you see Jesus on a mushroom, you’ll suspect the ’shrooms are the psychedelic kind.

Some believe the mushroom can answer their prayers.

By David Moye

But that’s not the case in Chignahuapan, a town in Puebla, Mexico, where locals swear they can clearly see Christ on a mushroom kept in a local church.

People who look closely swear a groove in the shroom looks like Jesus on the cross, though you probably have to take it on faith based on this inconclusive photo.

Legend has it that the Jesus mushroom was found 137 years ago by a lumberjack. Locals were reportedly so impressed they built the Iglesia del Honguito church (Church of the Tree Ear) on the site where it was found, according to the German news agency Ruptly.

Since 1880, locals have held an annual festival honoring the Jesus mushroom.

A local said in the video above that the mushroom is believed to have spiritual powers.

“A nephew of mine had an accident and I prayed for him not to be taken away, because he was in a very critical condition and was not likely to survive surgery,” she said. “But, thank God, everything went well. Both times I asked, the little mushroom answered,” a local said.

People who visit the church can look at the sacred ’shroom, according to Atlas Obscura. Don’t worry: there’s a magnifying glass for people who have a hard time seeing Jesus.

Looks like jesus but also looks more like someone carved a depiction of jesus into a mushroom :lol:

You can clearly see a sun and other symbols carved into it around the jesus on the cross image. There's a moon too and stars :rofl2:

Sounds like a lumberjack made this and showed it to some villagers who took it as some sign :strokebeard:


--------------------
Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky

You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by

I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

I've had him ignored for years. It's made the site much much better.

But. I think this article is amazing. For a couple million years mushrooms ruled the world. Fungus is so much more than cubensis, there's something new to learn every day.

Some of those carvings look "pagan", as if showcasing the transition into and away from Christianity, and retaining the past. Unless I'm just seeing things haha.

Edit: It appears fungus has ruled the world multiple times.

Reminds me of the documentary "Cave of Forgotten Dreams", or the legendary hammer that either traveled through time or predates man. It's amazing the artwork our species produces for those who come after us, and what they do with it.

I believe God gave us mushrooms as a gift. I'm sure this is tabloid bullshit though.
