Jesus spotted in Sunderland Chinese takeaway

They say God is always watching but two friends were shocked when they came face-to-face with his son. Ian Ridley and Lawrence Boys thought they’d had one too many after stopping off for some late-night food on their way home from a night out.

But as they were waiting outside Mayho Chinese Takeaway, in Neville Road, Pallion, they noticed the face of Jesus staring back at them. Ian, 39, said: “We were quite drunk at the time and went to get something to eat. We were waiting for our meal outside when we saw it.



“It was Jesus looking right at us, we were shocked and couldn’t believe it. It’s a miracle!” Ian and Lawrence, 38, took the snap, where peeling paint and dirt on the door appeared to form the face of Jesus.

Ian added: “The best thing about it is the face is actually facing the direction of St Luke’s Church so it looks like it’s supposed to be there. Since I took the picture, we’ve shown it to loads of people and all of them can see it instantly. It’s amazing and they can’t believe it.”
