Our Lady of Obviously Just Tree Bark

Watsonville, California is a seaside farming community south of the more famous Santa Cruz. Many wonderful vegetables from the Brassica family flourish there because of the cool sea breezes.

In 1993 a woman was already praying to an Imaginary Virgin Mother, which may have preselected her to believe things that have no basis in reality, when she concluded that a perfectly ordinary wound in the bark of a nearby oak tree was actually an apparition of her favorite fictional quasi-deity character. And as sometimes happens when an obviously preposterous claim is made, it became a religious shrine. Religion is very useful when reality leaves us unsatisfied, it lets you believe anything at all without requiring annoying facts or rational explanations.

Once again, as seems always the case, this supposed apparition of a fictional virgin seems vaguely shaped like female genitalia, a virgin vagina of oak. And, really, sometimes an oak tree is just an oak tree.
