An Indiana woman received what she believed was a message from above at her prenatal checkup.
Aley Meyer shared a sonogram picture with TV station WFIE that she said appeared to show an image of Jesus on the cross.
Meyer said that she didn’t even notice the image until someone else pointed it out at her baby shower.
“She was like, ‘do you see this’? And I was like, ‘see what’? And she pointed to it and she’s like ‘it looks like Jesus hanging on the cross,’” Meyer told the station.
“We took a picture of it and blew it up on my phone to get a closer look and it is so much detail. You can see the hair and his legs crossed and everything,” Meyer said.
Meyer posted the picture on Facebook and it quickly went viral.
“Everybody’s like I have to see that I have to see that, so I was having to drive this thing all over town to show my grandparents who don’t have Facebook and things like that,” Meyer said.
She says she’s getting a kick out of the popularity of her picture, but she also thinks it may be a message from above.
“I’ve been on a lot of medicine for my Crohn’s disease and I’ve been very worried about it so I feel like it’s a sign that everything’s going to be OK with him.”
Meyer’s baby boy is due in June.
