MUM Claire Allen opened a jar of Marmite - and was stunned to see Jesus staring back at her.Claire, 36, saw the blobs of yeast extract under the lid had mysteriously formed the shape of a familiar bearded face.
The mum of three said: "I opened the Marmite jar, put it on the breakfast bar and the lid caught my eye.
"I just looked at it and immediately thought, 'That's Jesus Christ'.
"It wasn't a new jar, but I had never noticed it before."
Claire's sons Jamie, 14, Tomas, 11, and four-year-old Robbie are big fans of the pungent brown spread - known for the slogan: "You either love it or hate it."
The company boss said: "I was about to do some Marmite on toast for Robbie's breakfast when I saw the face.
"I showed it to my two eldest boys and straight away they could see a face.
"They thought it looked like the images of Jesus you see in paintings and stained glass windows."
Claire and husband Gareth, of Ystrad, Rhondda, South Wales, now hope the apparition means that the son of God is looking out for their family.
