THOUSANDS of residents in Benin City, the Edo State capital, on Thursday, besieged the St. Paul’s Catholic Church, located on the Airport Road in the Benin metropolis, to catch a glimpse of Jesus Christ who was rumoured to have appeared to worshippers during the morning mass service.

The Thursday appearance of the image of Jesus Christ to the worshippers at the church was reputed to be the first of its kind in the area.

Francis Efe, 18, a mass server, said he actually saw the image of Jesus Christ in a form of the Divine Mercy image around 5.00 p.m on Wednesday, while preparing for mass after the prayer.

He said after seeing the image, he went outside the church hall to call his fellow mass servers and that they all followed him to the altar to see the image before it receded into the monstrance in the form of the Divine Mercy image.

“The priest came and we repeated the Divine Mercy prayer, followed by the Benediction, then the monstrance was reposed before we started the evening mass,” he added.

Efe said it was the security man who was watching over the monstrance that first saw the apparition and ran away.

While giving an account of what happened on Thursday, Efe said, “this morning after the morning prayer, the priest brought the monstrance back to the altar and the people that came for morning mass saw it and the people started shouting in amazement.”

Describing the image he saw, Efe said “Jesus Christ came like a human. Only the body, the hand and the head showed. The feet did not show. He came in pure white gown with something like red rays in form of blood and sky blue rays radiating from the navel downwards in a triangular formation.”

Highly delusional! The aetology of what they saw can be define as focal hallucination on the path of these ignoramus.
Now they are tired of making wooden, plastic, rubber, iron cross and images, BTW, where is Holy Mary? I thought the religion (catholics) worship her, not Jesus.
Let me write some words for y'all. Jesus can never visit a place without a meaningful significance, how can one says 'I saw Jesus', without him speaking? What do you take him (JESUS) for? A carricature, statue or an artistic diagram??
I'm sure the image was a late saint that died some years ago, roaming around the sky, since the gate of heaven was closed against him.

^^^ Roflmao.

catholics dont worship Mary.

Dont mock what you dont understand.

^^^ you are getting more confused, why not visit Benin city and see things for yourself.

The story is rubbish. it was possibly caused by someone hallucinating due to hunger.
