INMAN, S.C. (April 23, 2009)—Linda Lowe of Inman, S.C. says an image of Jesus appears on a piece of cheese toast her boyfriend made as a late night snack.

Lowe told the Spartanburg Herald-Journal in a story posted at BlueRidgeNow.com that her boyfriend made the snack for her just before Christmas, and when it came out of the oven it bore a familiar image.

Months later, Lowe still has the snack, and she told the paper, “It is a reminder that the Lord is with you every day of your life.”

It’s not the first time that a combination of grilled cheese and bread has produced a sacred image.

In November 2004, the online casino GoldenPalace.com, bid $28,000 to purchase a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich that supposedly bore the image of the Virgin Mary.

The woman who sold the sandwich, Diane Duyser said she spotted the image after she'd taken a bite out of the sandwich and saw the face staring back at her.

When she first listed the sandwich on eBay, it drew bids of as much as $22,000.

The page was viewed almost 100,000 times before it was taken down and a million times or more after the sandwich was re-listed.

A year later, the online casino paid $1,775 for a pierogi with the face of Jesus.

The seller said Jesus' face appeared while she was cooking the Polish dumplings for Easter dinner in her home in Ohio.
