A potato destined for the fryer has become a holy relic to some Berliners after a woman cut it open only to find an image of a cross inside.
Birgül Balta, 49, was cutting potatoes for French fries at her home in Berlin's Charlottenburg district when the cross-shaped cavity inside one of the spuds stopped her cold.
"There was a strange sort of crackling sound like pressure was being released. When she opened it she found that - two perfect crosses," Balta's husband, Robert White, told The Local.
Balta, a Muslim, called her family and neighbors to witness what local newspaper Berliner Morgenpost is calling "the miracle of Berlin-Charlottenburg."
"Everyone was deeply stirred," Balta told the paper. "Some of them even began to weep and to pray."
