Century Old Church Fresco Deteriorating? Let Me Spruce That Right Up
An elderly parishioner has stunned Spanish cultural officials with an alarming and unauthorised attempt to restore a prized Jesus Christ fresco.
Ecce Homo (Behold the Man) by Elias Garcia Martinez has held pride of place in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza for more than 100 years.
The woman took her brush to it after years of deterioration due to moisture.
Cultural officials said she had the best intentions and hoped it could be properly restored.

Poor woman! I am sure she didn’t mean to make the picture look like something from Planet of the Apes.
Close enough to the original, right? 🙂
I saw this on CNN a few weeks ago, and it made me laugh so hard I cried. This is absolutely hilarious!
I saw this on the news a couple weeks ago. I’m sure Jesus loves her just the same.
