Apparently, the Almighty makes a killer omelet

Man Sees Image Of Jesus In Frying Pan

People see the image of Jesus in all sorts of things: frosty windows, dirty refrigerator doors, moldy Twinkies, even bacon cheeseburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. Now comes the story of a simple man in a small town in the Texas Hill Country whose discovery on a recent Sunday morning may just change the eating habits of faithful Catholics the world over.

Say hello to…The Sacred Frying Pan of Prairie Lea….

Some people will tell you that the Good Lord can show up just about anywhere, and lately there seems to be no shortage of religious images seen on commonplace items.

Remember the Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich? Well, now it’s the Jesus frying pan.

Juan Pastrano, of Prairie Lea, Texas, said he was cooking his mother breakfast on Sunday when he looked close and saw what looks like the face of Jesus etched in his frying pan.

There’s no word yet on if the family plans to sell the pan. But if they do, it could really bring in the bacon. A 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich with the image of the Virgin Mary recently sold on eBay for $28,000.

Of course, there is one thing that no one seems to have considered yet. What if this is the very frying pan in which the Holy Grilled Cheese Sandwich was created? Truly, if it could be demonstrated that this is indeed the Sacred Frying Pan, we could be dealing with a Holy Relic of EPIC proportions.

Before you know it, legions of the faithful will be beating a path to the quaint, sleepy burg that is Prairie Lea, Texas. To serve the faithful, WalMarts and Jiffy Lubes and fast food restaurants will soon dot the landscape- for what is more truly and faithfully American than the capitalistic urge to swim upstream and make a few bucks?

Before long, Mr. Pastrano’s kitchen will become as famous as St. Peter’s Square. This discovery will rank right up their with the Holy Hand Grenade for significance to the faithful. Of course, not even the Holy Hand Grenade could feed the faithful in the way the Sacred Frying Pan can.

Give a man a grilled cheese sandwich, and he eats lunch- assuming he has some tomato soup. Grill him a Holy Grilled Cheese Sandwich in the Sacred Frying Pan, and he eats for life…or at least until he can sell the sandwich on eBay.
