Christ on a cliff! American tourist pictures Jesus on holiday in Ireland

By Lucy Buckland

When tourist Sandra Clifford went on holiday to Ireland she was hoping to connect with her Catholic roots.

But the American never dreamed she would capture an apparent apparition of Jesus Christ at the Cliffs of Moher.

The 42-year-old pilot from San Francisco couldn’t believe her eyes when she spotted an imprint of as she visited the famous County Clare tourist attraction.

She told Irish Central: ‘To me it was Jesus Christ straight away.

'I am a pilot, so I am always skeptical of what I see, that is why I started grabbing people and asking them what they saw

Ms Clifford decided she would get definite proof of her sighting and snapped the divine apparition on her digital camera.

'I always have my camera and I love taking pictures,’ said the American pilot, who took over 800 shots during her trip to Ireland.

It had been raining prior to the sighting and the pilot said it had been ‘a day of rainbows.’

And Ms Clifford is not alone in thinking her sighting is completely genuine.

Later that evening Ms Clifford, who was holidaying with her friend Fiona Fay, went to Gus O'Connors Pub in Doolin, where locals whole hardheartedly agreed with their diagnosis.

Teresa O’Flaherty, who owns the bar with her husband Patric, told IrishCentral that they couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the snap.

'I was like, wow, I actually thought it was a picture of a picture, I was shocked,” she said.

'It’s very definitely an image of Christ,” she said.

Ms Clifford maintains the images are 100 percent legitimate and points out the original photograph are still in the camera, which she passed around in the Co. Clare pub that evening.
