it's a miracle?
Why do some people assume that whenever a vision of a male face appears it's Jesus and whenever a woman appears it's Mary?
I wonder what Jesus would think about this if he were around today.

"When I first came up the aisle I thought I saw a torso but when I came closer ... I saw the face of our Lord Jesus," said Kathleen Gallant. "From a slightly different angle ... I saw the face of our blessed mother."
"I heard about it early last night and just had to come to see it today, and see for myself," says Martin Avery, who owns a religious book store in Charlottetown.
"I don't know if I'm a doubting Thomas or not but once I seen it, it's true to me and it's just beautiful to see."
Holy Hardware: Face Of Jesus Appears On Piece Of Sheet Metal

Thomas Haley was unloading supplies at "Hardy's Hardware" when he saw the face of Jesus Christ on a piece of sheet metal.
Haley did not take this as a sign to sell all his belongings and give the money to the poor.
Instead he did what any red-blooded American would do, he auctioned the holy hardware on eBay.

He'd likely smile and say that he'll gladly take all the good PR he can get!
I'm afraid that transplanting anyone from 2,000 years ago into our present age would be a disappointing experience regardless of his/her parentage. We like to assume of course that there is the continuity of some "super sugar daddy" and his "wonder boy" looking over our collective shoulders for 2,000 years and smiling, frowning or whatever at our fabulous foibles, watching his fallen angel salting the earth with billion year old fossils just to test our faith.....
Just as great apes sometimes get excited when they see themselves in a mirror, so to the hairless apes sometimes get excited when discerning patterns where they were expecting none....
