An interesting photograph emerged on the Vatican’s television station on Monday. The picture claims to show the shape of Pope John Paul II in the flames of a bonfire built at a memorial service on the occasion of the second anniversary of his death.
The service was held near the late Pope's birthplace in Poland this past April, two years to the day after John Paul died. The memorial event took place at Beskid Zywiecki - near the Holy Father's birthplace in Wadowice, southern Poland.
Hundreds attended the ceremony and photographer Gregorz Lukasik captured the image on his camera.
The photo appears to show the pontiff with his right hand raised in a blessing of those present.
