So this is how Christ decided to reveal himself to the world. I must say, I would have thought that his appearance would be a little more spectacular.
He's on a tree.

People in one South Texas town were flocking to see what some say is the image of Jesus on the cross in a tree, News 4 WOAI learned Tuesday.
Hundreds of people in Crystal City have been going to the site the last couple days.
“You can see those branches that are coming up in front of him look like lashes that Jesus Christ received," believer Rosemary Ruiz said, pointing at the tree.
"He's there,” Ruiz said. “We know He's there. If you believe in Him, He's there."
People are taking pictures of the “Y” in the tree, and leaving items for a makeshift shrine.
For those who are skeptical, psychologists have an explanation. It is called pareidolia, the natural tendency for people to see human characterisitics in inanimate objects.
Most people who spoke with News 4 WOAI Tuesday believe God chose Crystal City for a reason. Statistics show the town is 95% Hispanic and almost entirely Catholic.
"Now that I really see it, I believe in God,” one girl told News 4 WOAI. “I believe that he is here in Crystal City watching me."
“Here in Crystal City, all we usually have around here is our faith,” believer Rudy Avila said. “We don't have much but we live on faith, and that gives us a lot of hope."

I guess it depends on your definition of "real."
I think God chose Crystal City because he likes spinach.
It looks exactly like Jesus. I mean dead ing on. When I first saw the picture I was thinking, "What tree?" because all I saw was Jesus but then I looked harder and realized Jesus was on the tree. It's amazing. Jesus is back baby!!
Wait a minute!

That tree looks familiar.
Could it be that the Ents are somehow related to the Son of Man?
You may have eaten him for breakfast
That is so not Jesus on the cross. That is Jesus preparing to jump off the high dive at the Galilee Games.
Do black Baptists or Swedish Lutherans ever see images of Jesus in trees, or in oil stains underneath Camaros? Has God blessed Mexican-American Catholics with special discernment for these signs?
You said it yourself, Don't with the Jesus!
These people need to go to Florida, where every tree has a kind of like human form to them.
Jesus looks like he needs to cover his naughty bits...
WOAI forgot to mention that there has been over six physical altercations between the “believers” and the “ non-believers” and in one of those altercations a man tried to take out the gun from the holster of the assistant chief of police.
Nothing like a good healthy debate about religion.
My bet is that the "believers" get bagged on for not being "tolerant".
Find Jesus? I didn't know he was missing.
Debates on religion and many other things always will happen. But don't try to take my uncles gun and threaten to shoot him.
What will happen when the leafs come back?
Will the poor tree be admired no more?
that's kinda neat.
but take into account i've seen satan in the clouds and my name on the moon...
Damn.l.... you all are pissing POPEYE off
he'll jump down and chop down the damn tree
What the are the "non-believers" hanging around there for anyway? If they don't believe in him, why waste your time? Just nimrods lookin to start where there shouldn't be any. Let em gawk at their damn tree and get over it already.
When we say "believers" are we talking Christians or Christ-in-a-treeans?
Sorry... he is a historical figure... even if you don't accept the Christian account of him.
He's been Milk Carton since about 33 AD or so. Supposedly floated up into the clouds, or maybe just jumped into a tree.
Are you implying that the tree looks like Richard Nixon in his copyrighted pose?
