TortillaMary1.jpg


A Starr County family is wondering if a miracle took place in their kitchen on Tuesday afternoon.

Melinda Solis told Action 4 News that she was warming up flour tortillas for her teenage sons after school around 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Solis said she was spreading out the cooked tortillas when her mother noticed something unusual.

One of the tortillas had a large brown spot that resembled the Virgin Mary holding the Baby Jesus.

Solis, a mother of four who was raised Catholic, said she and her family are saving the tortilla.

The La Grulla area woman said they are not sure if they are going to call a priest just yet.

"It's safe as long as I keep it away from my sons...as long as I keep it away from butter," Solis said.

The image appeared weeks after Día de los Reyes but just ahead of Día de la Candelaria.

In Mexican culture, Dia de los Reyes is celebrated each year with gifts on January 6th to commemorate when the three kings visited the Baby Jesus.

Dia de la Candelaria is celebrated each year with a tamale feast or a "Feast of Purification" on February 2nd to commemorate when Jesus was first presented at the Jewish temple.

Awesome, I've been saving that spot on the shelf next to the Jesus Grilled Cheese Sandwich for something special. I can't wait til it hits Ebay!

Does anyone else think our species can be seriously stupid sometimes?

Anyone can stop wars and feed the starving masses. Appearing on food is the sign of a true god.

Sometimes?! We've barely progressed from jabbing a stick into an ant hole, and eating the contents. I think our species is stupid most of the time.

What percentage of humans would figure that out on their own?

Should take too much effort to figure out that termites will crawl up a stick. Now, figuring out the termites taste good and can be nutritious, that's a whole nother topic of discussion.

But it's unleavened bread - how could you possibly go wrong? :p

I was thinking of the whole idol worship thing. I figured gold or foodstuffs, Moses still probably wouldn't be down with worshiping food-based idols, even if the food was jew-approved.

Wow, they thought this was worth writing a story about?

I'm sure if you blew up enough nuclear bombs you would eventually get a crater with a perfect replica of the Madonna.

Dia de los Reyes is Epiphany day (Jan 6) and it isn't celebrated just in Mexico.
