Archaeologists just may have made a truly miraculous discovery.
According to Fox News, a group of researchers in Turkey just found a 1,200-year-old loaf of bread that was burned with the image of Jesus Christ on it. The Karaman Governorship made the announcement of this incredible find.

It is believed that this loaf of bread can be traced back to the 7th or 8th centuries. It was found with four other carbonized loaves near the ancient city of Eirenopolis. Not only does this miracle bread have the image of Jesus on it, but it also has an inscription upon it as well, reading “With gratitude to the Blessed Jesus.”
During this time frame, it would be most common to find imagery that includes the Christ Pantocrator with His hands raised. Instead, this bread showed the image of Jesus as a farmer which was as Fox noted, “symbolic importance of fertility and labor in the religious thought of the period.”
Other loaves of bread also had Christian imagery on it, including the Maltese Cross. It is speculated that these discoveries are of communion bread.
This extraordinary discovery serves as a powerful reminder that God still leaves signs of His presence in the earth—sometimes in the most unexpected places.
For over a millennium, this bread lay hidden, preserved through fire and time, waiting for an appointed moment to be revealed. Perhaps it is no coincidence that it resurfaced now, in a generation hungry for proof of the supernatural and desperate for a touch of the divine.
