Melted Crayons Reveal Jesus Image to Missouri Mother

A woman has claimed to have seen Jesusin her son’s art project. Tara Gomez of Blue Springs, Mo., told ABC's 7 Action News that she was not expecting to see God when she found a children’s art project on the Internet.

She and her son completed the project, which involved melting crayons in the oven and then freezing them. However, the mother was stunned when her son pulled the crayons from the freezer; Gomez saw what she claims to be an image of Jesus in the wax of the melted crayons.

“I'd been praying and praying about certain things, and I asked God for a sign and I think the crazy thing about this, and I dunno, what better sign to get then right in front of you,” Gomez told another local news station.
