Virgin Mary holding Jesus spotted on tree trunk

Just across the Mile Long Bridge to the east on the south side of Polk City, Iowa, people are stopping and looking at the tree.



Some people say they see the Virgin Mary growing out of the tree trunk. Some say it looks like Jesus and others say it looks like Mother Mary holding the baby Jesus.



The shape in the trunk is about six feet high. "It makes me wonder how it got there. Was it struck by lightning? Was there a disease?" asked Jennifer Naylor of Johnston.

Whether it's an aberration or an apparition is in the eye of the beholder. "There have been several shrines off and on," Craig Porter said. "You know, the flowers sitting there. So, I would say that other people are seeing the same thing I see," said Naylor.
