PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla., Nov. 20 (UPI) -- A disabled Florida woman who makes a living selling items on the Internet auction site eBay says an outline of Jesus and Mary appeared to her on a pancake.
Dana O'Kane of Port St. Lucie, who has dystonia, a movement disorder similar to Parkinson's disease, said she was about to sprinkle some chocolate powder on a pancake when she noticed the divine image, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Monday.
Her mother, however, thought what her daughter saw as a divine image looked more like a Bedouin and Santa Claus.
O'Kane's first attempt to sell the pancake online fell through despite bidding that reached $450. So O'Kane decided to try again, the Times reported.
When the second online auction ended Saturday, O'Kane accepted a $29 bid by Stephen Kosmach of Wood Dale, Ill. O'Kane says she's going to donate the money to the Dystonia Foundation.
