MILWAUKEE -- A Milwaukee woman said that she sees an image of Jesus Christ on a tree right in her own back yard.
Ella Huffin, 63, said she was stunned to see the holy image appear out of nowhere outside her northeast side Milwaukee home."The only way I can put it is it's just so amazing, so amazing," Huffin said.The amazing sight Huffin sees through her glasses outside her kitchen window is a big old tree with what she said is an image of Jesus Christ."A week before Christmas, I was sitting at the table looking out the window, and there it was," Huffin said.How it got there, nobody quite knows.Huffin said the image wasn't carved onto the tree."Seeing is believing, you know. Once you see it yourself, you know it's not carved in," Huffin said.Standing from a distance, at just the right angle, in an overcast day, the image is clear to Huffin.She said she sees Jesus looking down at a baby he's holding.
A computer tracing of the image (pictured left) makes it easier to see for yourself.But those who've stopped by Huffin's home on Richards and Auer in Milwaukee, have no problem making it out."You can see where the baby is and the hair, yeah, and his body coming down. That is wild," said Carol Koepke of Brookfield, Wis."Oh, I just have the shivers just looking at it," said Rosie Kubit of Mequon, Wis.
Visitors and Huffin never get tired staring at the image. In fact, it's the first thing Huffin does in the morning,"Why it's there I have no idea. I have no idea, but the only thing I can say it's something good because he stands for something good," Huffin said. "That if it is meant for me to know anything I pray that I will find out. Maybe I will never know the reason."Huffin feels blessed and welcomes others to share the experience."It's worth sharing with people, you know. It's beautiful. It's good," Huffin said.The sighting is causing such a stir that Huffin is getting calls from all over the country.Everyone wants to know about the Jesus Christ image.So far, more than 100 people have stopped by Huffin's home to see the tree.
