Jesus has made yet another strange appearance, this time in a tree. And it’s just up the road from where I live.

To Irma Lopez, the figure on the tree in her front yard in Moorpark is very clear.

It’s the face of Jesus.

“Last Friday I was watering the front yard when I noticed an area on the tree that resembles Jesus,” Lopez said. “I threw down the hose and told my daughter Lisa to come outside.”

Her daughter agreed.

“After watering the area the figure is clearly visible,” said Lopez, a resident of Baird Street for more than 40 years.

Lopez’s mother, Elisa Flores, was a Catholic and the backbone of the house. She cared for the yard for many years and died two years ago.

“This figure on the tree is a blessing for the house,” Lopez said.

Alex Meza, who lives across the street, was skeptical.

“At first I was like, are you sure you see something?” he said. “After Irma and Lisa had me come over, I am a true believer that there is a Jesus figure on the tree.”

Cheech Marin at one time had a movie in development called “Jesus of Oxnard” in which Jesus appears on a tortilla. What a shame that never got made.
