Jesus fish to take holy tour of Sweden

Jesus fish to take holy tour of Sweden

Fish-factory workers in western Sweden who discovered a perfectly shaped cross on a Norwegian salmon's belly last week have now decided to take the Jesus fish on tour to show the rest of Sweden.

"It seems that the Jesus fish has been brought back to life and will begin touring," delighted fish factory worker Lars Ludwigson told The Local.

The fish was found by factory workers in Gothenburg on Thursday and the news made a splash across Sweden.

Ludwigson, who initially took the fish home for what he called a "blessed dinner", had the epiphany to give the salmon a second coming and to take it on tour.

"My original plan was to eat it, but I can't do that now. I've hidden the fish in a freezer because of this hysterical interest and I'm the only one who knows exactly where," he added.

after reading this and finding out that the fish resembles a cross and doesn't look like Jesus at all.

But now I open the link and find that the fish doesn't resemble a cross. It has a birthmark that looks like a cross. (or a tattoo)

I wonder if Jesus had any tattoos of a fish on him.

because if they called it a "cross" fish, everyone would misunderstand and think the salmon was angry or bad-tempered..
