A Brighton based Christian group claim to have witnessed a miracle, with members of their circle maintaining contact with the divine—through talking bread!
A. Fossil, speaking for the group, said, ‘Our circle met for a buffet last month and several members were holding pittas in their hands when, suddenly, one of them spoke! The bread, that is.’
Ms. Fossil, 72, claims the holy snacks astounded her and others by exclaiming: ‘Behold, man does not live on bread alone.’
‘We were shocked,’ she added. ‘I said, Crumbs!’
Since then, Ms. Fossil and her circle have met regularly to listen to their spiritual pittas.
‘We hold pittas close to our ears and listen to what they say. Sometimes they stay quiet, but on other occasions, we’ve heard them making strange noises. We’ve heard the sounds, emanating from the bread, of tiny footsteps, like children’s.’
So, it seems, when the bread is lost for words the group still manages to hear their ‘pitta-patter.’
