Family invites people to see Virgin Mary, Jesus on rock
from WKYC-TV Cleveland, OH
JACKSON TOWNSHIP -- A Stark County man thinks he may have a miracle sitting in his garden.
He says images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary mysteriously appeared on two of his garden rocks this week.
It’s hard to miss the Hartman’s house in Jackson Township. It’s surrounded by a white picket fence. And it has a beautiful garden complete with a miniature train track.
It was in the garden that Robert Hartman said he made a miraculous discovery.
Hartman says he was “tinkering around” when he saw the image of Virgin Mary on a rock. Then another stone caught Hartman’s eye. He says it bears an image of Jesus. He says it’s a sign from god.
The other thing that’s so interesting about these rocks is that one of them has a dark patch. It’s actually a film or oil-like substance. And it has a very distinctive smell. In fact, it smells like flowers.
Hartman’s mother, Ethel, told Channel 3 News the night before the images appeared, a mysterious flash of light awakened her.
“It woke me up because the lights came on up in back,” said Ethel. “And it shined right on my bed.”
The next day when her son showed her the images on the rocks, she was convinced it was a sign from god.
Ethel Hartman is a devout Catholic and prays the rosary up to 15 times a day. She says she doesn’t know why the lord chose to create the images in her yard, but she’s thankful nonetheless.
The Hartman’s welcome anyone who’s interested in seeing the rocks. They live just outside Massillon, in Jackson Township. There house sits at the corner of Amhearst and Traphagen Street.

It's from July
It's a symbol so sacred to him, a Madison man does not want his identity revealed, but at the same time, wants to share what he considers a miracle - a rock, with the image of the Virgin Mary.
His Tibetan Father found it in the early 80's in a riverbed at the Foothills of the Eastern Himalayas.
''He would pull it out from his safe, rub his hands over it, kiss it and I do remember him saying whenever he did that he would have peaceful dreams of lambs and ancient ships.'' He said.
He has showed the rock to less than 5 people since his father left it to him when he passed away in 1992. Now, he wants the world to see it.
''If it can help humanity in whatever measure through the miraculous powers of the Virgin Mary, then she has spoken to the World.'' He said.'' I believe it has healing powers, it can move people to do good and bring about a peaceful World.''
He says he would consider displaying the rock at a museum, but you won't see it on ebay. He believes it would be immoral to sell it. photo | story link
The issue is incredulity.
