It's the immaculate comestible.
While heating up some tortillas Tuesday afternoon, a mother in Starr County, Texas, says she was surprised when some unexpected visitors turned up in her kitchen -- the Virgin Mary and the Baby Jesus.
Melinda Solis told ValleyCentral.com she was warming up flour tortillas for her sons after school when her mother pointed out a large brown mark on one of the tortillas that looked like an iconic image of the religious figures.
What do you see in this tortilla? A family in Texas says a brown spot on a flour tortilla (left) is actually an image of the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus -- similar to this Byzantine depiction of the Christian figures (right).
Solis says she plans to save the tortilla -- but the mother of four isn't sure yet whether she'll ask a priest to look at it.
"It's safe as long as I keep it away from my sons ... as long as I keep it away from butter," she reportedly said.
