1905
A limestone pebble, bearing a striking image of the face of Christ, which was picked up at Oberammergau in September, 1880, the day after the decennial performance of the "Passion Play", is the remarkable possession of Mrs. Eugenia Jones Bacon of Atlanta, Georgia.
The likeness can only be seen when the light falls upon the stone from a certain direction. The countenance is perfect in every detail as portrayed by the great masters, and the closed eyes with the pallid color of the stone give the face a sad expression. The nostrils are thin and across the brow are the deep furrows of worry and anguish.
