Chocolate Virgin Mary




Cruz Jacinto, a kitchen worker at Bodega Chocolates, found chocolate drippings that resemble the Virgin Mary thursday. She was just starting her shift when she noticed the lump of melted chocolate accumulated under a vat.

"When I come in, the first thing I do is look at the clock, but this time I didn't look at the clock. My eyes went directly to the chocolate," Jacinto said. "I thought, 'Am I the only one who can see this?' I picked it up and I felt emotion just come over me."

Several employees have spent much time praying over the part cocoa butter, part cocoa powder, part milk, part vanilla figure. Some have even gone so far as to place candles and rose pedals around it.

"For me, it was sign," said Jacinto.

A sign to duplicate these chocolate mamas and mass market them to millions of consumers. Each dark chocolatey Virgin Mary will reveal caramel filling as rich and fulfilling as Old Testament prophecy. A treat so sinful that Mary's own child would not have been able to try it.
