Christ-like smudge fetches $1,500-plus

Thu Aug 9, 10:44 PM ET

A smudge of driveway sealant resembling the face of
Jesus Christ has fetched more than $1,500 in an online
auction. The family that found the image on its garage
floor sold it for $1,525.69 on eBay Wednesday, more
than a week after the slab of concrete was put on
sale.

"I really never thought I'd get any, to be honest,"
said Deb Serio, a high school teacher.

"It's fun to see what people say and think about it,"
said Serio, who has gotten hundreds of messages from
around the world.

The family has hired a contractor to remove the
section of concrete. The chunk will be turned over to
the winner, identified only as "islandoffthecoast."

An active Lutheran, Serio considers the smudge just an
odd occurrence — not a sign or miracle.

"There are some people who need this kind of thing to
sort of start them on their faith journey. I don't,"
she said. "That's why I don't mind parting with it."
