Crucified Jesus figure appears in tree days before Easter – Witnesses say people gathered around figure and prayed to cure the world of the Coronavirus “evil”.
One witness said everyone was praying around the strange shape to cure the word of the “evil” coronavirus
The sight of a ‘ Jesus Christ’ figure on a tree trunk has led to dozens of locals breaking the coronavirus lockdown to see it just days before the Easter period.
Footage taken in the town of Magangue in Bolivar, Colombia, shows a large group gathering around the tree.
They can be seen taking photos of it as cameraman and journalist Rafael Rodriguez says: “Dozens of people are gathered here.
“They are here to see the figure of what they say or believe is the figure of Christ, they have forgotten about coronavirus and are currently here looking at this figure.”
What appears to be a figure like Jesus can be seen on the tree trunk. The branch formation even gives the impression the figure is hanging on the cross.
It can clearly be seen, and everybody is praying and asking for Earth to be cured of this evil and for Magangue to be protected,” local shopkeeper Rafael Rodriguez told media outlet El Propio de Magangue.
Authorities are reportedly concerned the tree could become a pilgrimage site despite the coronavirus lockdown in the country.
