Jesus found in jar of Marmite

A south Wales mum believes she has spotted the face of Jesus – in a jar of Marmite.

Claire Allen saw the likeness on the underside of the yellow lid when she opened a jar of the yeast spread to put on toast for her four-year-old son Robbie.

“I couldn’t believe it,” said 36-year-old Claire. “I opened the Marmite jar and put it on the breakfast bar, and the lid caught my eye. I just looked at it and immediately thought, that’s Jesus Christ.

“It wasn’t a new jar, but I’d never noticed that before.”

Claire, who runs a company specialising in disabled access, says she is “not particularly religious” but said she took comfort from seeing the image.

She said: “People might think I’m nuts, but I like to think it’s Jesus looking out for us.”
