'Panda Dog' Newest Designer Canine

People on the streets of Tokyo are stopping to stare at an unusual sight!
It looks like a miniature black and white panda. But take a real close look...it can bark!The panda is actually a dog that went through a make-over to look like a panda. He belongs to a pet shop owner who used to be a beautician. He says the dog was abandoned and ugly-looking, so he painted Columbo (that's his name) after the TV detective.Now, Columbo is the most popular canine-panda on the block!

Nepal To Probe "Buddha Boy" Mystery

Authorities in Nepal urged religious groups and scientists to help solve the mystery of a meditating teenaged boy who some believe is an incarnation of Buddha. Ram Bahadur BamjonAt least 100,000 devotees from Nepal and neighbouring India have flocked in recent weeks to a dense forest in southeastern Nepal to see 15-year-old Ram Bahadur Bamjon, who, his associates say, has been meditating without food or water for six months. Shanta Raj Subedi, district administrator of Bara, 150 km (95 miles) southeast of Kathmandu and where the boy is meditating, said he had requested the Lumbini Development Trust, a Buddhist panel, and the Royal Nepal Academy of Science and Technology to get to the bottom of the mystery. "We want to investigate claims that the boy has survived for so long without food or drink," Subedi said. Bamjon sits cross-legged beneath a "pipal" tree, which is sacred to Hindus, with his eyes closed in meditation. He does not speak and followers are only allowed to see him from a distance of 50 metres (165 feet). The young mystic is hidden from public view at night behind a curtain drawn by his followers. Doctors observing from a distance have said the boy is breathing normally but is weak. Local journalist Govinda Devkota, who has visited the site, said the boy sits with a shawl across his chest from armpit to shoulder, in the same posture as Buddha is shown in pictures. The number of visitors had reached up to 10,000 a day but fewer people are going to the retreat now, he said. "He sits motionless from dawn to dusk when visitors are allowed to see him. This demands something," said Devkota. "But whether he is an incarnation of Buddha, I have doubts because we don't know what he does at night. This must be investigated." His mother, Maya Devi -- the same name as that of Buddha's mother -- said Bamjon, the third of her seven children, is a quiet boy who kept aloof from friends. "Initially, I was worried about him. But now I am happy. He is in devotion to Buddha," Devi told Nepali daily, Rajdhani. Buddha, who founded Buddhism, was born a prince in Lumbini, a dusty village in Nepal's rice growing plains about 350 km (218 miles) west of the capital Kathmandu, over 2,600 years ago. He attained enlightenment at Bodh Gaya in the eastern Indian state of Bihar that borders Nepal.

Former Canadian Minister Of Defence Asks Canadian Parliament Asked To Hold Hearings On Relations With Extraterrestrial Civilizations

A former Canadian Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister under Pierre Trudeau has joined forces with three Non-governmental organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics -- relations with “ETs.” By “ETs,” Mr. Hellyer and these organizations mean ethical, advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that may now be visiting Earth. On September 25, 2005, in a startling speech at the University of Toronto that caught the attention of mainstream newspapers and magazines, Paul Hellyer, Canada’s Defence Minister from 1963-67 under Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Prime Minister Lester Pearson, publicly stated: "UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head." Mr. Hellyer went on to say, "I'm so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just think I had to say something." Hellyer revealed, "The secrecy involved in all matters pertaining to the Roswell incident was unparalled. The classification was, from the outset, above top secret, so the vast majority of U.S. officials and politicians, let alone a mere allied minister of defence, were never in-the-loop." Hellyer warned, "The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning. He stated, "The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide." Hellyer’s speech ended with a standing ovation. He said, "The time has come to lift the veil of secrecy, and let the truth emerge, so there can be a real and informed debate, about one of the most important problems facing our planet today." Three Non-governmental organizations took Hellyer’s words to heart, and approached Canada’s Parliament in Ottawa, Canada’s capital, to hold public hearings on a possible ET presence, and what Canada should do. The Canadian Senate, which is an appointed body, has held objective, well-regarded hearings and issued reports on controversial issues such as same-sex marriage and medical marijuana, On October 20, 2005, the Institute for Cooperation in Space requested Canadian Senator Colin Kenny, Senator, Chair of The Senate Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence, “schedule public hearings on the Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, so that witnesses such as the Hon. Paul Hellyer, and Canadian-connected high level military-intelligence, NORAD-connected, scientific, and governmental witnesses facilitated by the Disclosure Project and by the Toronto Exopolitics Symposium can present compelling evidence, testimony, and Public Policy recommendations.” The Non-governmental organizations seeking Parliament hearings include Canada-based Toronto Exopolitics Symposium, which organized the University of Toronto Symposium at which Mr. Hellyer spoke. The Disclosure Project, a U.S.– based organization that has assembled high level military-intelligence witnesses of a possible ET presence, is also one of the organizations seeking Canadian Parliament hearings. Vancouver-based Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS), whose International Director headed a proposed 1977 Extraterrestrial Communication Study for the White House of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who himself has publicly reported a 1969 Close Encounter of the First Kind with a UFO, filed the original request for Canadian Parliament hearings. The Canadian Exopolitics Initiative, presented by the organizations to a Senate Committee panel hearing in Winnipeg, Canada, on March 10, 2005, proposes that the Government of Canada undertake a Decade of Contact. The proposed Decade of Contact is “a 10-year process of formal, funded public education, scientific research, educational curricula development and implementation, strategic planning, community activity, and public outreach concerning our terrestrial society’s full cultural, political, social, legal, and governmental communication and public interest diplomacy with advanced, ethical Off-Planet cultures now visiting Earth.” Canada has a long history of opposing the basing of weapons in Outer Space. On September 22, 2004 Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin declared to the U.N. General Assembly,” "Space is our final frontier. It has always captured our imagination. What a tragedy it would be if space became one big weapons arsenal and the scene of a new arms race. Martin stated, "In 1967, the United Nations agreed that weapons of mass destruction must not be based in space. The time has come to extend this ban to all weapons..." In May, 2003, speaking before the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on National Defence and Veterans Affairs, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Lloyd Axworthy, stated “Washington's offer to Canada is not an invitation to join America under a protective shield, but it presents a global security doctrine that violates Canadian values on many levels." Axworthy concluded, “There should be an uncompromising commitment to preventing the placement of weapons in space.” On February 24, 2005, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin made official Canada's decision not to take part in the U.S government’s Ballistic Missile Defence program. Paul Hellyer, who now seeks Canadian Parliament hearings on relations with ETs, on May 15, 2003, stated in Toronto’s Globe & Mail newspaper, “Canada should accept the long-standing invitation of U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio to launch a conference to seek approval of an international treaty to ban weapons in space. That would be a positive Canadian contribution toward a more peaceful world.” In early November 2005, the Canadian Senate wrote ICIS, indicating the Senate Committee could not hold hearings on ETs in 2005, because of their already crowded schedule. “That does not deter us,” one spokesperson for the Non-governmental organizations said, “We are going ahead with our request to Prime Minister Paul Martin and the official opposition leaders in the House of Commons now, and we will re-apply with the Senate of Canada in early 2006. “Time is on the side of open disclosure that there are ethical Extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth,” The spokesperson stated. “Our Canadian government needs to openly address these important issues of the possible deployment of weapons in outer war plans against ethical ET societies.”

State of Florida Studied 'Supernatural' Water To Protect Citrus Trees

Florida's citrus crop contributes billions of dollars to the state's economy, so when that industry is threatened, anything that might help is considered. Back in 2001, when citrus canker was blighting the crop and threatening to reduce that vital source of revenue, an interesting—if not quite scientific—alternative was considered. Katherine Harris, then Florida's Secretary of State—and now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives—ordered a study in which, according to an article by Jim Stratton in the Orlando Sentinel, "Researchers worked with a rabbi and a cardiologist to test ‘Celestial Drops,' promoted as a canker inhibitor because of its ‘improved fractal design,' ‘infinite levels of order,' and ‘high energy and low entropy.'" The study determined that the product tested was, basically, water that had apparently been blessed according to the principles of Kabbalic mysticism, "chang[ing] its molecular structure and imbu[ing] it with supernatural healing powers." Citrus canker is a bacterial disease that affects all citrus trees. Caused by a bacterium, Xanthomonas axonopodis, citrus canker can be spread from tree to tree by windborne rain, the movements of birds and other animals, and human activity, such as improper disposal of infected trees and fruit. The bacterium causes brown, crusted lesions with yellow haloes to appear on the surfaces of leaves and the skin of fruit, reducing the leaves' photosynthetic capacity and stunting the growth and preventing the maturation of the fruit. The only accepted means of fighting the blight is the downing of affected trees and proper disposal of their remains. But the Florida state government is frequently bombarded with new supposed cures and preventatives; most of them are not tested by the state with government funds. But in this one case, at least, it appears that an exception was made: six months were spent establishing testing protocols and, finally, testing Celestial Drops. In a letter to the state government, Wayne Dixon, the head of Florida's Bureau of Entomology, Nematology, and Plant Pathology, reported that the "product is a hoax and not based on any credible known science." He added, "I wish to maintain our standing in the scientific community and not allow [the developers of Celestial Drops] to use our hard-earned credibility" to promote their product.

Patent Issued For Anti-Gravity Device

The U.S. patent office has reportedly granted a patent for an anti-gravity device -- breaking its rule to reject inventions that defy the laws of physics. The journal Nature said patent 6,960,975 was granted Nov. 1 to Boris Volfson of Huntington, Ind., for a space vehicle propelled by a superconducting shield that alters the curvature of space-time outside the craft in a way that counteracts gravity. One of the main theoretical arguments against anti-gravity is that it implies the availability of unlimited energy. "If you design an anti-gravity machine, you've got a perpetual-motion machine," Robert Park of the American Physical Society told Nature. Park said the action shows patent examiners are being duped by false science.

Michigan Meteor Video

On 11/7/05 at approximately 3:28AM in northeastern Michigan, 2 police officers witnessed a large meteor entering the atmosphere, initially exploding, lighting up the night sky then trailing some distance before it disintegrated. They witnessed the spectacle at the same time but at a different location, one officer caught it on his in car video camera.

Golden Retriever Gives Birth To Green Puppy

A dog breeder in Alhambra, Calif., is mystified after his golden retriever gave birth to a green puppy, according to a reporters. Golden Retriever Gives Birth To Green PuppyThe green puppy, named Wasabi, was one of four puppies born five days ago.Skeptics said the dog had to be dyed green but the owner said the puppy was born green.
Veterinarians said it is possible for a newborn puppy's fur to be green because the placenta, which is green, rubs off at birth.

Mars Missions Research Starts In Bed

It sounds like the best job in the world - stay in bed for two months and do nothing. But 12 women are doing just that, all in the name of space travel research.

The European Space Agency, in conjunction with NASA and the Canadian equivalent, is running a 60-day study to discover the effects of weightlessness on female astronauts. The majority of existing data is about the effects on male bodies as most astronauts are men. However, with longer trips planned to Mars and an increase in female crew, more information is needed about how their bodies react to months of space travel. Now the Women International Space Simulation for Exploration study has put the volunteers in bed with their feet slightly raised above their heads to mimic the effects of a zero-gravity environment. The women have to eat, sleep, wash and go to the loo in the same position so scientists can monitor the physical and psychological effects on their bodies and brains. The most common impact of space travel on human bodies is loss of muscle and bone, particularly in the legs and feet. Many astronauts are too weak to walk when they return to Earth. Once the women have finished the study, they will return to the space clinic at the Rangueil hospital in Toulouse, France for up to three years for check-ups. The only British woman in the study, Morag, told The Guardian newspaper that her friends thought she was crazy for applying to the job advert. "When I get out, I imagine I won't be able to walk too well at first," she said. "People say we're guinea pigs, but if we are, we're happy guinea pigs."

Gravity: Weight Is Over

The holy grail of physics - gravity waves - is within reach. If scientists in Europe and the US are right, within months there will be a new way of observing the cosmos, confirmation of Einstein's general theory of relativity and an unprecedented view of the birth of the universe 13.7 billion years ago.It all centres on two 600-metre-long corrugated steel pipes emerging at right angles from a grey cabin in the corner of a field in Ruthe, near Hanover, in northern Germany. The cabin contains the heart of the Anglo-German GEO 600 interferometer, an instrument so sensitive it can detect an object moving one million billionth of a millimetre. Over the weekend, colleagues at Hanford, in Washington state in the US, switched on the detector that will act in partnership with GEO 600. The team believes it is just months away from humanity's first detection of gravitational waves - shifts in space and time caused by the movement of massive astronomical bodies.Professor Bernard Schutz, of the University of Wales in Cardiff and a leading member of GEO 600, said: "Up until now we have been able to learn a great deal about the universe by what we can see. The ability to detect and read gravitational waves will give us as much extra information about the universe as being suddenly given the ability to hear." In his general theory of relativity set out in 1916, Albert Einstein proposed that bodies such as stars cause distortions in the fabric of space, in a similar way to the effect of placing a heavy ball on a piece of elasticated material. Gravity, created by the presence of mass, bends space-time and determines that a body travelling through space past a star, for example, will follow a "curved" path. Assuming Einstein was right, whenever a mass accelerates, gravitational waves are sent out across the universe causing shudders in time and space.

'Safe Cigarette' Could Cut Cancer By 90%

British American Tobacco (BAT) is to launch a controversial “safer cigarette” designed to cut the risk of smoking-related diseases such as cancer and heart failure by up to 90%.The cigarettes use tobacco treated to produce lower levels of cancer-causing chemicals. They also incorporate a new type of filter said to remove more of the remaining toxins. The company wants to launch the cigarettes in 2006 but has kept the move secret, knowing it would infuriate anti-smoking groups. Campaigners will dismiss any attempt to reinvent cigarettes as a less harmful product as a cynical ploy to recruit more smokers when the habit is already killing 114,000 Britons a year and the government is proposing curbs on smoking in public places. Past claims to have found safer forms of smoking, such as the introduction of low-tar cigarettes in the 1970s, have all proven false. They were found to be as harmful as high-tar versions because people smoked more and took deeper drags. Despite this history, BAT executives talk privately of “risk free” or low-risk cigarettes and suggest they might cut the chance of disease by as much as 90%. John Britton, professor of epidemiology at Nottingham University, said: “Anything involving inhaling smoke is unsafe. These new cigarettes could be more like jumping from the 15th floor instead of the 20th: theoretically the risk is less but you still die.” This weekend, BAT confirmed plans for the launch.David Betteridge, a spokesman, said: “They look and taste like normal cigarettes.” Betteridge refused to divulge the name under which the cigarettes would be marketed or give details of how they worked. They were designed by scientists at the firm’s research centre in Southampton. The cigarettes use “trionic” filters with three layers, each of which removes a different set of toxic compounds, while still allowing nicotine — the main addictive element in tobacco — to enter the lungs. The tobacco is also mixed with an inert “chalky” substance to retain more of the toxins in the ash. BAT also claims to have improved the way it dries tobacco leaves to reduce cancer-causing toxins when burnt. Even if they benefit smokers, such cigarettes would not prevent passive smoking. Deborah Arnott, director of Action on Smoking and Health, said: “Cigarette smoke contains about 4,000 different chemicals, many of which are toxic. These filters and tobaccos can make no more than a marginal difference.”BAT will not be making any explicit claims that its cigarettes are safer, but will instead describe the product as “potentially safer”. It is likely to focus its advertising on the new technology, hoping that smokers will assume they are safer. Betteridge said the company accepted there was “no such thing” as a truly safe cigarette and that the best way to minimise risk was to stop smoking.

Evolution Scientists Fight Back

The head of the Natural History Museum at the University of Kansas says a new exhibit on evolution is neither a textbook nor an effort to convert skeptics.A 4-foot-tall double helix model helps explain the structure of DNA at the "Explore Evolution" museum exhibit.But Leonard Krishtalka expects the "Explore Evolution'' exhibit now open to the public will touch off debate nonetheless. Reporters were given a tour of the exhibit in KU's Dyche Hall. It consists of a half-dozen stations showing how evolutionary concepts are woven into several scientific disciplines. Five other universities around the country are also hosting "Explore Evolution'' exhibits. The project has been in the planning stages for four years. The exhibit in Lawrence Kansas will remain in place for two years. It's funded with a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Satellite Spots Glowing Ocean

For hundreds of years, ship captains in the Indian Ocean have been writing of nighttime voyages through eerie stretches of water -- areas where the surface of the ocean glowed so brightly that sailors could read books on deck at midnight. These milky waters were said to cover thousands of square miles. Marine biologists used to ignore these kinds of reports. Now they don't. A group of satellite photos has changed their minds. Satellite images captured a large patch of glowing water off the coast of Somalia. The area is about the size of Connecticut, and researchers think billions of glowing bacteria are the source.

UFO Fleet Over The United Kingdom

A recent increase in UFO sightings over the UK in the past few months, Someone has come up with the goods and sent in some outstanding film footage and photos of what must be the biggest ever UFO fleet filmed over the UK! What you are about to see is very similar to the UFO fleets filmed over Mexico City in the early 1990's. Supernatural investigators were contacted by Gene Harley on the evening of October 20th, who said that he had just seen a gigantic fleet of UFOs flying close to the M25, which he managed to film on his mobile phone camera. Gene spotted the strange anomaly in the sky whilst driving along the M25 with a group of friends. He stopped the car and retrieved his digital camera from the boot, which for some unknown reason decided not to work (a classic phenomena related to UFO encounters). Luckily, Gene had his mobile phone on him which incorporated a small camera and he took the photos and film footage that you see here. The still photographs do not accurately show the craft as they appear in the film footage - the reason is because of obvious camera shake which slightly distorts the actual shape of the objects caught on film. Gene was travelling clockwise on the M25, around 8:15pm on the evening of Thursday October 20th 2005. The UFOs were travelling somewhere between Potters Bar and Enfield, which is in Middlesex near London. There appeared to be at least 50 brightly illuminated flying objects, in a scattered, fixed formation heading roughly West to East away from the M25. It took about 4 minutes for the objects to pass over and head out of sight. Gene claims that none of the drivers on the motorway seemed to spot the giant fleet which was moving above them. He estimates that his group was looking up at the objects at about a 45 degree angle and that there seemed to be a fair amount of aircraft activity at the time. This leaves us with the question whether any of the pilots reported this incident to Stanstead, Heathrow or Gatwick airports? One of the most amazing features that we can see in the footage is that each light seems to be flashing individually between white and red. This pretty much rules out the idea that this could be a plane because they only have a couple of flashing lights on the wings.

Fireballs Seen Over Germany Spark UFO Speculation

Numerous sightings of massive fireballs in the skies over Germany this week have led to an upsurge in reports of UFOs, but scientists believe the cause could be a bizarre annual meteor blitz.According to the Web site of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA), such fireballs have been reported elsewhere in the world and may also be due to the fact that the Earth is now orbiting through a swarm of space debris. Many people in Germany have noticed the fireballs, said Werner Walter, an amateur astronomer in Mannheim who runs a Web site on unexplained astronomical phenomena and a hotline for reports on unidentified flying objects (UFO). "The last reported sighting was yesterday at 7:30 p.m. (1830 GMT) in a corridor near the border of the Netherlands," he told Reuters in a telephone interview. "This week we have had at least 15 emails and phone calls from people reporting these fireballs," he said. "Some people said it looks like something out of a science fiction horror film." In addition to a possible meteor streak, Walter said amateur and professional astronomers were considering the possibility that the blitz was the result of a "falling satellite or UFOs." "It is possible that they are UFOs, which are after all things which we cannot explain," he said. NASA's science Web site (http://science.nasa.gov) mentions reports of recent fireball sightings in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, North Ireland and Japan. It includes images of the fireballs, which one man likened to a spotlight. Walter described them as "super-large, colored fireballs that shoot with the speed of lightning through the sky." However, the NASA Web site quotes meteor expert David Asher from the Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland as saying that people "are probably seeing the Taurid meteor shower." Taurids are meteors that shoot out of the constellation Taurus, which peaks at the end of October and early November.

Deer Slams Into Minnesota State Capitol Building

He was antlered and dangerous - and he almost took out Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. As Pawlenty arrived for work at the Capitol Thursday, he and his entourage heard shattering glass and then saw a big buck charge past about five feet from them. The deer broke two windows at the Capitol before bounding off. The state's deer hunting season officially opens Saturday, and Pawlenty is headed to the northwestern Minnesota city of Perham for his annual kickoff event. Pawlenty said the parking lot incident was a good omen. "We could have had the governor's deer opener right here at the Capitol," Pawlenty said. "If that's any indication, the deer hunting is going to go well this year." State natural resources officials say the urban deer herd is much larger than usual this year. Ramsey County, which includes St. Paul, is considering hiring sharp shooters to thin the deer population along freeways and other well-traveled areas. It's the mating season for deer, when rutting bucks sometimes charge their own reflections in windows. Governor Tim Pawlenty

Women Prone To Demonic Possession, Says Exorcist

Is your girlfriend looking a little peaked? Are her eyes red? Can she do a 360-degree head turn, accompanied by flying green vomit? Be afraid. Be very afraid. According to a certified Filipino exorcist, women are prone to demonic possession because they are generally more “psychic and intuitive” than men. “They are more open to the spiritual world,” said Fr. Jose Francisco Syquia, a professor of spiritual theology at the San Carlos Seminary and one of the few “designated” exorcists in the local Catholic hierarchy. Syquia has worked with Fr. Gabriel Amurth, the Vatican’s chief exorcist. In an interview with reporters, Syquia said even nuns were not spared from possible possession, considering that evil spirits were usually attracted to holy people and places, such as seminaries and monasteries. However, it is this same holiness that will banish demonic exploits, he added. In the Philippines, Syquia said possession seemed to be a common occurrence because of occult practices, such as going to an “albularyo” (quack doctor) or consulting people who claim to be witches. He also noted the immense popularity of the “spirit of the glass.” This supposed means of communicating with the spirits has spawned similar, albeit somehow outrageous, practices, such as “spirit of the coin or the ballpen.” Syquia said the Roman Catholic Church was particularly strict about the spirit of the glass, citing the Book of Deuteronomy which asks the faithful “never [to] contact or search the spirits because you only open yourself to demonic interaction.” “Who are you worshipping (anyway)?” he asked. “You are allowing the evil spirits to have power over you because you are worshipping them.” In warding off possession, people could use religious items like rosaries, Benedict’s medal and scapulars. “Demons are all around us and they can attack us in many possible ways,” he said. “That’s why we have to have these protections.” If all these fail, the job of driving away evil spirits that have taken over a body falls on exorcists, like Syquia. Technically, he said, any priest could perform an exorcism provided he is authorized by the bishop of the diocese under whose spiritual jurisdiction the possession has occurred. Syquia said exorcists should seek a bishop’s permission only after making sure that the case was indeed a possession, not a psychiatric problem. He said an important tool against the devil was a 400-year-old manual of prayers for exorcism. This is a compilation of all the death prayers used by saints, Church fathers and exorcists against the demon. Not all exorcisms would immediately drive away bad spirits. Some cases take years before a person is completely purified depending on the degree of evil within him. “Evil persons are difficult to exorcise,” he said.

Jesus On A Wardrobe

Pilgrims are flocking to the flat of a Romanian family who claim the images of Jesus and two disciples have appeared on their wardrobe.Valeriu Junie, 66, of Drobeta Turnu Severin, says he first noticed the images about a year ago, just before Christmas. He said: "It all started one night when I was watching TV and noticed some shadows on our wardrobe. "I turned on the light and saw the image of Jesus in the middle and those of St Peter and St Paul on the sides. "I didn't say a word to anyone for a few weeks but then the images started to become clearer everyday. I decided to call the priests and since then lots of people come to my house to see the miracle." The wardrobe is made from walnut and is nearly 50-years-old. Valeriu's wife, Geta, 72, got it as a dowry on her wedding day from her parents.Local priest Vasile Nuhaiu said: "I was shocked by what I saw there. There were three shadows on that wardrobe with the face of Jesus Christ in the centre. "It is a miracle when Saints reveal themselves to us mortals and I crossed myself and started to pray. I told the two old people they should fast and pray to those holy images."
