Oswestry man finds face of Jesus on sock

He's been seen in clouds and even on pieces of toast. But now one Oswestry man has discovered Jesus on his sock.

James Henderson, 23, of Bailey Street, took off his shoes as he relaxed on holiday to find this striking image of the Son of God peering up at him from his holey sock.

"It was a massive shock to me," he said.

James said he and his friends decided to travel around Europe as part of a 10-day holiday.

He said he had spilt bleach on one of the socks while at work and somehow ended up taking them on holiday.

But the image of Jesus did not appear until the end of his travels. They returned from holiday on Tuesday.

He said: "It was on the last day of my holiday and I took my shoe off and there it was.

"My friends were sitting next to me and I called them over and their reaction was the same. It was a big shock to them.

"I am not especially religious but it was a shock.

"I have heard it all the time that people are finding images in weird and wonderful places but it was a surprise that I found one."

James has kept the sock and is still deciding what to do with it.
