Virgin Mary Pretzel Placed on eBay Reaches $7,800

While it hasn’t been officially recognized by the Pope, and it probably won’t be any time soon, the Virgin Mary pretzel has plenty of believers and now the food relic has some serious bidders.

 

The Virgin Mary pretzel is being auctioned off on eBay and currently has 65 bids with the top bid hitting $7,800. According to the seller the pretzel bears a resemblance to the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus.

 

A description of the Virgin Mary pretzel was posted on eBay and reads:

 

You are bidding on the coveted Virgin Mary Pretzel.  A member of the staff at The Donkey Show (101.5 KFLY and 106.3 KZZE) stumbled across this religious icon a little over two years ago in a Rold Gold pretzel snack bag.  Of course we saw the financial implications of this relic, and decided to sell it to the highest bidder.  This is a once in a lifetime auction, this pretzel is in mint condition, and could be yours if the price is right.  If it was not for the Lord Jesus Christ smiling upon the pretzel factory on the day of this little pretzel's conception, you would never have the opportunity to have it for your very own.  Think of the magic that would enlighten your soul every time you looked at The Virgin Mary Pretzel sitting on your mantle or nightstand, right next to your rosary and bible.  Jesus decided to commemorate his virgin mother in a salted treat that can be yours with the highest bid.  Bid with confidence, as this item is being posted by a radio show, and we can't legally lie about something of this magnitude!  This little morsel is 100% legit, in the most Holy of ways.  This item comes with the original packaging, with "sell by" date included!
