Yes, you read the title correctly. I have found Jesus. He was actually buried in my front yard. And that is the best photographic evidence I could get so all you doubters and naysayers out there who think Sornie is crazy can see that obviously I am not crazy. I am actually very sane. Has anyone else found something odd buried on their property? Just try to trump plastic Jesus!

When I was younger, I found a dead bird while making mud pies.
I still don't know if it was like a family pet that had been buried or what...
I can't trump finding Jesus with having found old mangled G.I. Joe figures in the backyard.
I think you should consider your "find" a sign - of something.
That's actually St Jospeh. People bury him there to help them sell their home.
Since you didn't know it was there, I assume you bought it from someone else and thus it must have worked...
And I can't spell. It's St Joseph!
This is awesome! How many people can say Jesus lived on their property?
I haven't found anything strange but I'm sure whoever buys our house next will; we bury animals in the front yard so the dog can't dig them up. So far there are 2 parakeets, two voles (not pets but found them dead in back), a couple of wild birds we found, and some fish.
For some reason, most of the burying happens at midnight.
I think the neighbors think we are *really* strange.
did He have a tear coming down His face?
Okay, St. Joseph. I was wondering, because I don't remember any stories in the Bible about Jesus carrying around a basket of fruit. But he IS Jesus' dad right? Or is this Joseph or Arimethea? Or something?
Yeah, that's real estate superstition... My friend used to do that when he sold houses. It was really funny to see this serious ass real estate mini tycoon burying a statue in the yard in his Brooks Brothers suit...hilarious!
Was he upside down when you found him?
Now I'm curious which previous owners buried it there. The sidewalk had been redone when the street was rebuilt and the house has changed owners four times in the past 10-12 years. I have to think it's from the most recent previous owners who sold it prior to bankruptcy due to a divorce. Odd that they'd believe in something religious when The CHurch would damn you good for the big d-i-v-o-r-c-e.
And no facial tear Tanya.
It has very little to do with religion. I had several non-believing coworkers who were talked into it by another semi-believer who's sole reasoning for this method was her own selling success.
One I remember most vividly was a guy who had his house on the market for 6 months without a sale. After burying St Joseph it was off the market and officially sold off in three days.
*shrug*
...oh man, you were serious.
Actually my dog has this habit of turning up with something strange from the yard - old torn cloth, broom stick, stinky shoes, smelly bones are what he dump before me. next time i have to join him so that i get a jesus like that.
I was going to say what Bill said! I know people who bury him upside down to help them sell their homes. My friend swears that is why she sold her last two homes so quickly!
Oh....and if you can serve a mean martini....you're hired! :)
I found half a shoe once, but I don't think it had any deep, spiritual meaning.
Are you sure that's Jesus?? He looks like Joseph to me.
That is totally a St. Joseph statue! I've been thinking about getting one because my house is on the market. Three months. No bites. I think you should send him to me and I will bury him. Upside down of course. I'm sure I have enough points for the statue. Think about it. :-)
What are the odds you would find him? He's got to be all of, what... 3 inches tall? That in itself is pretty much of a miracle.
Yea, about 3 or 4 inches and the only reason we were digging was to re landscape the "corner islands" at the intersection of our sidewalk.
Save him and rebury him when/if you sell. He has obviously worked if the house changed hands so frequently in the recent past. We live on a farm place from the 1800's so we find all kinds of goodies whenever we dig up the yard.
