The Church of the Holy Toast

While we were with our Catholic friends over New Year, we played a trick on them. So we’ve been friends for this group for many, many years and it’s become something of a tradition for Vince to cook breakfast when we get together. Others also help but he does the bulk of any cooking that needs to be done. So he served up the toast in the photo to one of the group and she was stunned that the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary was embedded on it. While she didn’t want to believe it was a miracle, she couldn’t work out how it came about. It was simple really – just a stamp affair which was pushed into the bread before it was put in the toaster. After the laughter died down, we decided we should call ourselves members of ‘the Church of the Holy Toast’.

I have a toaster that burns a heart and the phrase "I love you".

@JudyEv Someone years ago in Italy pretended that the face of Jesus appeared "by miracle" on this toasted bread. He surely did something similar to what you did.

@LadyDuck Our friend was almost believing it for a very short while. If someone other than Vince had given her her toast, we would have got further with the joke. But really it's just as well we didn't.

That's cute. I haven't seen any toaster like that here. This was just a hand-held plastic thing that you pressed into the bread.

Lori says toasters are made that put stamps on as the bread toasts.

@judyev Look up in the sky tomorrow (your today) and if you are very quiet you'll see an Elvis shaped cloud - it's his birthday.

That's heresy I tell you! Heresy!!!! Or is it blasphemy? Apparently, I need to go to church more often. Let us bow down and pray to the Holy Toast. Amen.

@JudyEv I, for one, have a sense of humor when it comes to religion. Q: How do you make Holy Water? A: You boil the hell out of it!

Haha. I was hoping I didn't offend anyone with this. Some people don't have much of a sense of humour, especially where religion is concerned. I'm sure the good Lord has a sense of humour. Why else would He come up with Cardinal Sin (former Archbishop of the Philippines)?

That's good! I didn't know you could do that with bread before putting it in the toaster.

@JudyEv After commenting, I remembered a toaster I saw that put the NFL logos on the toast. I hadn't thought of that or remembered it until after I commented here.

@just4him I haven't seen toasters that do it yet but then I never look at toasters.

It seems there are a few different designs you can get and even some toasters that put the design on while toasting.

That's shows how how religious Catholics are. In fact tomorrow it's one of the biggest processions of the country, the processions of the black Nazarene in Quiapo church.

Our friends are quite strict Catholics; some more than others. One couple has a son who is a priest.
