A New Mexico man says he has seen the face of Jesus and you can too.

David Sandoval of Española, NM believes the face of Jesus, the son of God, in the discoloration of a tortilla he found on Ash Wednesday.

Sandoval says he was getting ready to eat one of his mother’s homemade tortillas on the holy day when he saw the face of the Lord on it. He showed the baked tortilla to his mother who easily saw it as well.

Wanting to share his amazement, Sandoval said he posted a photo of the tortilla on Facebook. While he looks for a better way to preserve the tortilla, Sandoval said he is keeping it in a box for now.

He told KOAT, ‘It became even more astonishing, with it being the first day of Lent,” Sandoval said. ‘I passed it to my mom and the same response came from her, ‘Oh my God.’ ‘
