A tree surgeon really has 'seen the light' after chopping down a tree to allow more sunlight into a customer's home - only to discover the face of Jesus peering back at him. Callum Johnson's jaw dropped when he immediately spotted the iconic image of the son of God staring back at him from the growth rings of the tree.
A striking image of the Christ-like face in the log decay shows a clearly-defined head, eyes, nose, moustache, beard and flowing locks. The 16-year-old apprentice said he and the four-strong team, some of whom have been in the industry for 40 years, had never seen anything like it before.
Callum quipped that the site may become a place of pilgrimage in future. After sharing the snap on social media it went viral, racking up more than 222,000 likes, shares and comments.
