The Virgin Mary Reveal Self On Wall Of Chicago Underpass
A faithful crowd gather around what people believe to be an image of the Virgin Mary under a freeway underpass in Chicago, April 18, 2005. Police said the image might have been caused by stains from road salt that dripped from the expressway onto the wall.
Dozens of people have gathered near a Chicago motorway to see what they believe is an image of the Virgin Mary on the underpass wall, after a motorist reported seeing the image in a large yellow and concrete stain last week.
To some who saw it, the image appeared as a white outline of the Holy Mother's face wearing a shadowy cloak.
To others, it looked like an ivory pawn from a game of chess. Police have put up temporary barricades to prevent people from driving and parking in the area.
In November 2004, a piece of popcorn shaped like the Virgin Mary was auctioned on eBay. A Canadian woman also said she saw the Blessed Mother and baby Jesus on a Lay's Smokey Bacon Chip.
More startling photos after the jump.

Celebrity Nativity Scene Upsets Church
What were the people at Madame Tussauds London wax museum thinking? Graham Norton should have been the angel.
(L-R) American actor Samuel L. Jackson, British actor Hugh Grant and Irish comedian Graham Norton as the shepherds, with English soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria as Joseph and Mary, with Australian singer Kylie Minogue (top) as the angel and Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Duke of Edinburgh and President Bush as the three wise men.
But no, Kylie Minogue gets that honor instead. Let's just say the Christian leaders aren't taking it well, that David & Victoria Beckham are being portrayed in the Joseph and Mary roles.
Check out all the photos.
