Did Jesus REALLY appear in sky? After orange pith Christ, new photo shocks believers
The photo of an unexplained figure in the night sky is going viral all over social media as devout Christians believe Jesus was spotted. The Christ-like illuminated shadow was seen in the night sky above a small town in Australia on Saturday, December 10. Believers are considering this a Christmas miracle, particularly since the mysterious Jesus Christ shape appeared in the sky just when a local group was having a Christian community gathering.
The sighting happened in the outback town of Laramba in Australia, around 200 km west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The area where the incident happened is predominantly a Christian neighborhood and the local community often organizes such prayer gatherings. However, this is the first time a miraculous sight like this has happened in the recent past.

The photograph was circulated widely on Twitter and Facebook as worshipping Christians strongly believed it was Jesus Christ appearing in a spiritual form to bless the local people. The photo garnered rapid clicks and shares as everyone stopped to comment 'Amen'. However, a section of social media users was not convinced that it was something supernatural and attributed the translucent light to moonlight or lens flare from the camera.
The news of the night sky Jesus has surfaced barely days after a US woman sighted Christ inside an orange. Gene Guglielmi, a 57-year-old nursing home supervisor from New Jersey, US, found a Jesus Christ-like structure in the pith as soon as she tried to separate two halves of a tangerine.
"I remember thinking 'look at that, a figure that looks just like Jesus hanging on the cross, neat'. I also thought 'wait 'til my friends see this, they'll think it's cool too'," Guglielmi shared. Her photo of the 'blessed' orange pith also went viral and gathered more than 3,200 likes in barely a few days.
Speaking on the 'Christmas miracle' from Australia, a devotee noted, "( #) Maybe it is CHRIST telling us it is time we treat refugees like human beings and allow them equal participation in a fair and just society instead of locking them down in detention centers. Maybe our own lockdowns and pandemic will also end........... Matthew 7:1-2 "Do not judge others, so that God will not judge you, for God will judge you in the same way you judge others, and he will apply to you the same rules you apply to others."
However, not everyone was impressed as a few non-believers left no stone turned to point out the scientific possibilities behind the phenomenon and troll the 'Christ in the sky' claim.
