The face of Jesus has appeared again — this time on felled poplar
JESUS Christ’s face has appeared again — this time staring out of a felled poplar.
Apprentice tree surgeon Callum Johnson, 16, was stunned to see the familiar features of the son of God among its growth rings.
It was not far from a recent sighting of the Messiah’s distinctive profile in a freshly split log.
Callum told how he was part of a team chopping down a 13ft poplar which was blocking light into houses.
He said: “As my colleague was cutting the branch it fell on the floor and I instantly noticed the face of Jesus.
“We all looked at it and I thought ‘Oh my God’. It was amazing. You could see the eyes and beard.

"I’m not religious myself but after seeing that I may be open to considering it.
"My colleagues said that in their 40 years of doing it they’d never seen anything similar.”
He quipped of the site in Wantage, Oxfordshire: “It could become a place of pilgrimage.”
Earlier this month we revealed how Phil Buckley, 44, saw the side of Jesus’ face in a log he split for a fire in nearby Brize Norton.
