The Marmite messiah: How a mother found Jesus in a jar
Daily Mail | 28th May 2009
The Lord manifests himself in many ways – on the bottom of a frying pan, in a baby scan and on a burnt fish finger, for instance.
His latest appearance is equally unlikely – on a Marmite jar lid. At least that’s how the Allen family have interpreted the gooey residue on the inside of it.
Mother-of-three Claire Allen, 36, saw the image when she was preparing toast for her youngest boy Robbie, four.

‘I opened the Marmite jar and the lid caught my eye,’ she said. ‘Immediately I thought, that’s Jesus.
‘It wasn’t a new jar, but I’d never noticed that before.’
She showed the lid to her older boys Jamie, 14, and Tomas, 11.
‘They both thought it looked like the images of Jesus you see in paintings and on stained glass windows,’ she said.

Mrs Allen and husband Gareth, of Ystrad, Rhondda, South Wales, say they will keep the lid. Mrs Allen said: ‘I’m not particularly religious but I like to think it’s Jesus looking out for us.’
She said she took comfort from the image.
‘We’ve had a tough couple of months; my mum’s been really ill and it’s comforting to think that if he is there, he’s watching over us.
‘I often see Jesus’ face in a lot of things I do. And there are a few times I can think of when I’ve seen the face of Jesus in a window.
‘But he’s never appeared in my food before.’
Mrs Allen’s discovery is the the most recent of several religious sightings in otherwise mundane objects.
In May last year, a drinker spotted the face of Jesus in the foil of a bottle of larger, while likenesses have been found several times on slices of toast – most notably when a decade-old cheese sandwich bearing the likeness of the Virgin Mary was sold to an online casino in 2004 for £15,000.
Jesus has apparently also appeared in a baby scan in August 2006, in the bottom of a U.S. couple’s frying pan in February 2005, and on a fish finger in Canada in November 2004.
