Hundreds of believers have flocked to a hillside in Colombia after a landslide revealed the face of Jesus.

The ‘miraculous’ discovery was made in the San Francisco area of Putumayo, Colombia, Vietnam lacquer paintings on Saturday.

Since then police have had to be called in to control the crowds as believers from across the country have descended on the hill to witness the ‘miracle.’

Now some local landowners are cashing in by charging visitors to view the holy image, according to a local newspaper.

‘If you believe in Jesus, you will see your image,’ Ximena Rosero Arango told Colombian newspaper El Tiempo after visiting the site to photograph the hillside.

The image has also been making the rounds on social media since Saturday. But not everyone was impressed with the ‘miracle’.

There was some debate on social media whether it was the face of Jesus as one Twitter user Magui, under the handle ‏@AdasOz, said: ‘Congratulations to those who can see the face of Jesus in landslide in Putumayo.

‘I just see a mountain of earth surrounded by trees.’  

It certainly is not the first time that Jesus has turned up somewhere unexpected.

The face of Christ has appeared on everything from Marmite lids, tacos and naan bread, to tree stumps and laundry.

Divine sign: The image of Jesus was found on a drainpipe, left, by nurse Alex Cotton in Coventry

In 2012, the son of God was discovered on a wall by a painter and decorator working on a house in Eldroth, near Austwick, North Yorkshire.

His face has also been spotted in household items and even stains.

Nurse Alex Cotton, 38, found an image of Jesus in a drainpipe at her home in Coventry, West Midlands which was dubbed ‘the Second plumbing’.

Bank worker Toby Elles claimed he was saved by divine intervention when he woke to find a burning frying pan on his cooker.

On further inspection of his singed bacon snack he also found the face of the Son of God burnt to the bottom of the pan.

They both thought it looked like the images of Jesus you see in paintings and on stained glass windows,’ she said.
