Crucifix-shaped fish sticks sell on eBay

What a northern Ohio woman billed as "Good Friday Miracle Fish Sticks" have sold for $78.77 on eBay.

Victoria Landis of Elyria says in one box of frozen fish sticks, she found pairs stuck together like three crosses. Landis says they looked just like the familiar image of the crosses on Calvary Hill when Jesus was crucified.

She put the fish sticks back in the freezer and got them out several days ago to post on eBay in hopes of raising money for the new family van she's been praying for.



The auction ended yesterday morning. Landis explains that the price includes the expected high cost of next-day shipping in five pounds of dry ice, so the unidentified buyer will have the fish sticks while it's still Holy Week.

It could not have come soon enough for the 38-year-old Elyria woman.

“I’ve had my 15 minutes of fame and it’s done. Thank God,” she said yesterday. “I’m glad it’s behind me. All the e-mails I got grew increasing worse the longer the auction went on. We even got one death threat from someone saying they hoped our van blew up as soon as we got into it.”
