'Jesus Christ' appears on factory wall in Ukraine

People from across Ukraine are making pilgrimages to a factory where markings resembling Jesus Christ have appeared on a wall
17.09.09, TELEGRAPH (UK). Queues have formed around the building as pilgrims wait their turn to kiss the image, with local police forced to increase patrols to keep crowds under control. The outer wall of the timber factory in the town of Velyky Berezny in western Ukraine has been turned into a shrine, as visitors leave bunches of flowers at the site they consider holy. The factory has now become something of a tourists attraction with people crowding the site to take pictures on their mobile phones.
"Sightings" of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary are not uncommon in Ukraine, where the majority of the population belong to Eastern Orthodox churches.
