This is an amazing story about a man who looked at the sky and saw Jesus there. Certain aspects of life are truly incomprehensible. Consider the mysteries of the vast universe or the unanswered question of why your dog had to bring home a dead squirrel carcass from the garden every day without fail. What we do know is that, despite the lack of explanations and solutions, we acknowledge and accept these uncertainties wholeheartedly. Just as Alfredo Lo Brutto did.
This man was just going about his business in Agropoli, Italy when he noticed something spectacular in the clouds above him. The sky was a magnificent blue over the sea, with a white silhouette of a familiar figure outlined in streaks of bright orange rays. He quickly snapped a photo of the incredible view and posted it online. Alfredo claimed that the cloud figure resembled Christ the Redeemer uncannily.
“The view captivated me. “I don’t usually share photos on social media, but when I took this one, I immediately felt like I wanted other people to see it because it was so beautiful,” Alfredo tells. The ambiguity of the image taken at the Tyrrhenian Sea has sparked some heated debate on the internet. Though it appears to be a replica of the Jesus statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, netizens were skeptical.
This man, on the other hand, truly believes in the image he witnessed and marveled at enough to take a photograph of it. He admits that he isn’t one to share posts or opinions on social media, but this one takes the cake. While half of those who have seen the image online believe it clearly bears some significance, the other half believe it is a classic case of optical illusion combined with the perfect play of lights.
No matter what your perspective is, there is no denying the fact that the image is a stunning documentation of the wonders that nature has to offer, and perhaps a force higher than us for those who are looking for something to believe in.
