Mission Viejo Man Puts 'Jesus Chair' on eBay

There's a new object to add to the list of oddities offered on eBay—a chair with the face of Jesus.

Lou Balducci of Mission Viejo noticed the image on an old rocking chair in February. He had been planning to throw the chair away, but instead sent pictures to local news outlets and began showing it to family and friends. Now, after about four months of enjoying the sacred image, he has decided to part ways with the relic.

Balducci and his wife have listed the chair on eBay, at a starting price of $25,000.  The listing says that the chair has "healing powers."

While most of us have heard of Jesus appearing on toast or on a Cheeto somewhere, there are a surprising number of these sorts of sightings in our own backyard. In December, an Alhambra woman found the figure of the Virgin Mary in melted candle wax, reports KTLA. In 2009, a Calexico restaurant drew hundreds of visitors eager to see the outline of Our Lady of Guadalupe in a griddle. And a Yucca Valley woman has seen sacred images twice this year--once on a poppy, and once on a cactus.
