Jesus on a Utility Pole? - “You can’t spray Jesus with Roundup.”
A utility pole about a mile south of Kinston, N.C., has attracted attention in the last week or so from people who say the kudzu clinging to it resembles the image of Jesus on the cross.
Kent Hardison goes by the pole every day on his way to work at Ma’s Hotdog House, about a 90-minute drive east of Raleigh. His first reaction, common here when it comes to kudzu, was to blast it with Roundup herbicide. But then he had second thoughts, according to The Free Press of Kinston.
“I glanced at it, and it looks like Jesus,” Hardison said. “I thought, ‘You can’t spray Jesus with Roundup.’”
