A Monterey, California man says he can see the image of the Virgin Mary in his leg after a motorcycle accident.Marc Lipton said he was riding his motorcycle when he lost control and slid about 50 feet along the road. He speculates that Satan had kicked his motorcycle because he had that night denounced Satan and his legion.
Lipton said he wasn't wearing leather chaps at the time because he was close to home - which is within the boundaries of the law in California. Lipton said he believes the Virgin Mary protected him from further injury when the motorcycle slid out from underneath him.
"I was shocked," he said. "There, in front of me was Mary. And I know she's a virgin. We always kid her about being the Virgin Mary, but this time, I don't know. Maybe she is."
The Roman Catholic Church has very strict guidelines regarding what is deemed an official sighting of the Virgin Mary, including the image must be of someone named Mary, and the image must be a virgin. In addition, the sighting must have occured while riding a motorcycle, resulting in a scar to the leg.
There has been no word on if the Diocese of Monterey will investigate Lipton's leg as a legitimate apparition of the Virgin Mary. However, spokespersons close to the Vatican noted that the Pope was intrigued by the story because he is an avid motorcyclist.
