LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "She was like, 'do you see this?' And I was like, 'see what?' And she pointed to it and she's like, 'it looks like Jesus hanging on the cross,'" Meyer told WFIE.
"We took a picture of it and blew it up on my phone to get a closer look and it is so much detail. You can see the hair and his legs crossed and everything," Meyer explained.
When Meyer posted the image to her Facebook wall, it was an instant hit.
"Everybody's like I have to see that I have to see that, so I was having to drive this thing all over town to show my grandparents who don't have Facebook and things like that," Meyer stated.
Though she enjoys the popularity of the picture, Meyer admitted she also believes it is a message from God.
Meyers, who is 7-months-pregnant, was previously diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
The medication she requires to battle the disease holds the potential to hurt her unborn son, whom she named Easton.
Meyers worried throughout her pregnancy for Easton's safety - until she saw Christ on the cross.
"We just feel like it's a sign that everything is going to be OK and that Easton will [be] born healthy," she stated.
Please pray for baby Easton's health, a smooth pregnancy and peace for the Meyer family.
