Pope John Paul II 'appears' in bonfire vision
Pope John Paul II 'appears' in bonfire vision

From Mother Theresa in a cinammon bun, to the Virgin Mary on a toasted cheese sandwich - images resembling religious icons are regularly spotted in unlikely places.

Now this fiery figure - photographed in a bonfire in Poland - is being hailed as Pope John Paul II making an appearance from beyond the grave.

Dressed in robes, slightly hunched and his right hand raised in blessing, the image appeared during a ceremony to mark the second anniversary of the pontiff's death.

The photograph has since been shown repeatedly on Italian television, and a religious website displaying the image crashed as thousands logged on to see it for themselves.

The bonfire was lit during a service on April 2, at Beskid Zywiecki - near the Holy Father's birthplace in Wadowice, southern Poland.

3. Pope John Paul Photographed Burning in Hell

"Help, me! It burns! It burns! I'm sorry about covering-up all the pedophilia, bashing all the gays, ranting about Terri Schiavo and then refusing my own feeding tube! Oh, and birth control is okay after all! I'm sorry! It burns! It burns!"

Also, here's Jesus:
