Bar owner to sell Christ on scooped oyster

58 minutes ago

GENEVA (AFP) - After the revelation of a grilled sandwich allegedly bearing an image of the Virgin Mary in Florida last year, a bar manager in Switzerland said he was ready to sell a Christ-like oyster shell.

Matteo Brandi, who runs a bar in the western Swiss village of Roche, told the Swiss newspaper Le Matin he came across the shell while he was opening a batch of oysters just over two years ago.

"When I tried to toss one of them away, it stuck to my hand. It wouldn't slip off my palm. Like He was calling me," Brandi said.

The 38 year-old Italian, who says he is a devout Roman Catholic, is convinced the Picasso-like forms on the outside of the craggy oyster shell -- held the right way up -- represent the face of Christ.

The oyster, which had sat on the bar's stereo after its appearance on December 2002, is now being kept in a bank.

Brandi said he had seen the light after a Florida woman auctioned off a grilled cheese sandwich to an online casino last November for 28,000 dollars.

"Today I have become conscious of its value," he told the newspaper.

"This piece is unique. It is the work of nature. It is neither grilled nor cooked. I shall try my luck over the Internet," he added.

Brandi said he was waiting for offers, and was also thinking of telling the Vatican (news - web sites).

"They might be interested in it for the museum."

The oyster's flesh was eaten.
