an actual experience? anything to do with art? church? is location relevant? country? whether "the others" were Christian? |

Good evening! Did you see something with your eyes? a person? an animal? an object (like a picture?)? Did what you see physically resemble Jesus? remind you of Jesus? remind you of something about Jesus? Did you always see the same thing? different things of a kind? Is it relevant if you are religious or not? Is there a relevant experience in your life before this? and if you hadn't made this experience you wouldn't see Jesus now? Did the others see the same thing? Is the place where you saw Jesus relevant? |

Morocco? Tunisia? Algeria? Actual country relevant? Is there a specific relevant experience in your life which made this thing remind you of Jesus? Do you think what you saw would remind me of Jesus? Is the nativity scene relevant? did you see Jesus as a baby? On the cross? |

Morocco? this one Tunisia? Algeria? Actual country relevant? Morocco wouldn't be the only country, so it's not specifically relevant to Morocco Is there a specific relevant experience in your life which made this thing remind you of Jesus? no - remember that I felt that 'experience' was too strong a word as it has particular connotations Do you think what you saw would remind me of Jesus? it's possible - I know I'm not the only person Is the nativity scene relevant? no did you see Jesus as a baby? no On the cross? no Is the object reminding you of Jesus made of: metal? wood? paper? cardboard? glass? stone? concrete? tissue? organic material? plastic? rubber? principally paper, although I saw it on canvas Is it longer than 1 cm? 10 cm? in one case this1 m? and in another one this10 m? 100 m? Is it an artwork? yessish |

Was it a particular shape / pattern that stimulated the association? Was it the same image that you saw every time that was repeated in various places that you visited? |

Is it relevant where you saw this logo? inside? in particular buildings? outside? Does the logo represent a company? Can you see the this logo in Europe: not at all? less often? more often? than in Morocco? If this is the case would there be latin letters in Europe? which wouldn't remind you of Jesus? |

Well I never thought I would see so many Cola logos over there? no Well I never thought I would see Jesus over there? yessish Anyway does it start with "Well I never thought I would see"? that's not the important bit ********* SPOILER ********* The Arabic lettering for Coca Cola looks a bit like the word 'Jesus'. Yes, it's a bit florid, and the letters overlap each other a bit. But as I asked to my family "Does that look like 'Jesus' or does that look like 'Jesus'? - they agreed: as does someone else when I Googled it. Of course, being a Muslim/Berber country and the fact that the lettering is read from right to left unlike our left to right, then it's unlikely that many other people would see it that way. It was a wonderful mixture of cultures in Morocco. I can honestly say I saw (crates of) 'Jesus' on a donkey. I don't want to link directly to a private site from here, but if you do a Google image search for 'Coca Cola Arabic Jesus' you will see find a Flicker photo page with the same observation of the lettering on an awning. |
