The likeness of Christ the Redeemer has apparently appeared in a northern lights display over Akranes in Iceland, reports the Daily Mail.

The supposed appearance of Jesus was captured by Jón Hilmarsson, 48, prompted by his ten-year-old son to photograph the aurora borealis.

“This was the most beautiful and vivid northern light display I have ever seen,” said Jón. “We usually see green auroras but that night I saw bright green, red and purple colours, which is very unusual. Many people see the shape of Christ but also an angel formation. It was wonderful to photograph, the lights were dancing through the sky and constantly exploding, giving me all kinds of different formations to follow and admire.”

Move over burnt toast and animal bottoms, people are seeing Christ in the northern lights now.
