    'People are coming to kiss the cabinet and say prayers' - devotees flock to Kerry antique shop to see door resembling the Virgin Mary’

    This has to be a joke. It’s a fcuking knot in a wooden door panel which vaguely resembles the outline of Mary. There are no facial or limb features. It’s a crock of shjt yet idiots are kissing and touching the door.

    It’s not a patch on the Holy stone of clonrichert which was a Class 2 relic.

    Who cares? they're not harming anybody, people believe what they believe.

    I'm wondering how you know that it, even vaguely, resembles someone who lived 2000 years ago, and of whom there are no extanct pictures ?
    I think people should be flocking to see you !
    He has returned ! Jay-Cee has returned !

    Thank you my child but I don’t want to take away from the big lady herself, Mrs M.

    And to answer your question, we know it vaguely resembles Mary because it’s the same shape as the statue stood beside it in the picture.

    Looks bit like a vagina if you ask me.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    They’re harming themselves, kissing doors that other equally lunar folk have been kissing. Who knows what sort of germs are now on that door!!

    I thought for a minute this had something to do with the budget.

    I'd just like to know, who done the rubbing, and why, exactly.

    What sins could you have committed, that makes you rub against furniture, and how much did you pay, exactly.

    At the same time though, it's wrong to mock people's beliefs.

    Be respectful.

    The Virgin Mary appeared on a toasted cheese sandwich sometime in the '90s. It was sold at auction for $28,000 in 2004.

    Surely you're joking.

    Still, its good to see life being brought back into the church.

    Oh wait it is true. I wonder what she wanted.

    Ah drop it, everyone knows about that craic.

    If people have faith that's their business. Ridiculing people for something just because you don't happen to share their beliefs is juvenile at best.

    Sure, there are plenty of threads about this already.

    Didn't mean to derail.
    With respect.

    Travellers love this shyte and Tralee is full of em.

    They cut down a tree in Rathkeale once, the pattern on the stump looked like Holy Mary.

    They came in droves to venerate a tree stump for godsakes.

    In fairness though, this stuff must make serious Christians shake their collective heads.

    I wouldn't ridicule people for having faith (I am not completely without it myself), but seeing the virgin Mary in a piece of wood is silly carry-on. All silly carry-on gets ridiculed - this should be no exception.

    If one genuinely believes in an all-powerful God who created the entire universe out of nothing, surely one would also have to believe that, if he chose to display an image of his mother, he could do better than tree stumps, cabinet doors, and toasted cheese sandwiches?

    I don't think that COT was defending this, just a response to my post.

    The priest was dead right. It's a tree. You can't worship a tree.
    It's a Fr Ted Irish stereotype made real. We laugh at African and Asian countries with witch doctors and sorcerers and we have this.

    Even the parish priest told them to cop themselves on over the tree stump.
    However, the local parish priest last night advised people not to worship the tree. Fr Willie Russell said: "There's nothing there . . . it's just a tree. You can't worship a tree."
