IMAGES: CHRISTIANS IN RUSSIA WORSHIP A TREE CLAIMING THEY SAW THE FACE OF JESUS ON IT

Churchgoers in Russia have begun worshipping a tree after claiming that religious icons with the faces of Jesus and the saints appeared on its

trunk.

The images began to appear on the birch tree in the village of Burmakino in central Russia’s Kirov Oblast last month in the places where gardeners had trimmed off old branches.

Villager Valentina Naumova said…

‘We thought nothing of it until the tree started to form these arched shapes, just like church icons. ‘Then the faces of Jesus and his disciples began to appear in them and we realised this really must be God’s work.It seems to me that they had come to us because they wanted to tell us something.’

According to Mailonline, the village has had no church building of its own since it was destroyed by Communists in the 1930s. In the Soviet Union, all church owned property was confiscated and turned over to public use and most of it – like the property at Burmakino – was destroyed.
Now whole congregations of people gather in front of the tree to pray and give thanks.

Scientists Reveals Possible Cure For Deadly Ebola Virus

A plant has been found to halt the deadly Ebola virus in its tracks in laboratory tests, scientists have said. They used a compound from Garcinia kola (Bitter Kola), a plant commonly eaten in West Africa. Compounds from the plant have also proved effective against some strains of flu. If the anti-Ebola compound proves successful in animal and human trials, it will be the first medicine to successfully treat the virus that causes Ebola haemorrhagic fever – an often-fatal condition. The discovery was announced at the 16th International Botanical Congress in St Louis in the US. Traditional origins Dr Maurice Iwu, who set up and heads the Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme, led the research. It started 10 years ago when researchers were led to the plant by traditional native healers who have used the plant for the treatment of infectious diseases for centuries. “This is a very exciting discovery,” said Dr Iwu, who himself comes originally from a family of
