A Brevard County woman found more than she expected while eating a bag of Goldfish crackers, according to Local 6 News partner Florida Today.
Patti Burke eats two or three pounds of Goldfish crackers in a week, one by one, looking for the saltiest of the snacks. But only once has she found a sign from ? on a little orange ? .
“When I picked this one up, I knew he was special,” the Melbourne woman said of her Holy Week discovery. “He had a cross on him, and he had a crown circle up by his head. Something I’ve never seen before out of all the Goldfish I’ve eaten.”
Burke couldn’t believe it on Easter Sunday, when her pastor, D. Scott Worth, began talking about fish as a symbol of Christianity in front of the congregation of Presbyterian Church of the Good Shepherd in Melbourne.
The reason the fish became a symbol is unknown, though it could be the story of Jonah and the whale or Jesus feeding the 5,000 with loaves and fish, he said.
“Maybe it’s because we are people that buy into the ‘big fish’ story of Jesus’ resurrection,” he remembered suggesting in his Sunday sermon. “...Big fish story from the standpoint of it’s hard to follow ... Jesus’ closest disciples all didn’t believe it at first, because it’s so fantastic and life changing.”
Whatever the Biblical roots of a fish’s role in Christianity, Burke is embracing her find.
“I believe that it’s a sign, a sign from ? , that ... he is still in our life every day and he wants to show that to his people,” Burke said of the baked cheddar ? . “And it’s something that happened right here at Easter.
“After talking with Pastor Scott I know that what all the cross means. It’s eternal life with the circle around the cross.”
What does Worth think the oddly imprinted ? means?
“It was very interesting that ? put that on my heart to speak about that, and Patti found her Goldfish with the sign of the cross on it.
“I think it’s a sign. I think it points to, I would hesitate to call it a miracle, but I think it points to the miracle, which is Jesus Christ defeated death. And that’s what Easter is all about.”
Burke hasn’t yet decided what to do with the ? , so she carries it in an earring box padded by gauze. She tried to find out how the “the snack that smiles back” — which is normally only printed with a smile — ended up with the cross and two circles. At first, she thought she’d won a special promotion.
“I called Pepperidge Farm and said, ‘Hey, do you have some special promotion going on, I think I’ve got the lucky fish,’” she said. “They called me back and said there’s no way this could have been printed like that in the factory. ... They said it sounds like something miraculous happened and we don’t know how it happened.”

Which the symbol X stands for christ!!! ^^^

This is the thing with theistic religions. Most people have been following a system of thought all of their lives and were indoctrinated into it as a young child so for them, the pure emotional trumps the logical/rational. They interpret anything as being signs from ? to validate their beliefs. Not too long ago, my city had the news anchors out here at one of the power lines because a tree had fallen and somehow it looked like some kind of Christian symbol to them.

I believe it's more like...the belief in ? is losing steam. I don't think the issue is whether ? is left to performing second hand magic tricks. People want to believe that when ? acts, it's always to make them say..."Wow, I want to be on your side"...and when they are disappointed that those Bible stories are not something they see everyday, they look to anything to rekindle the "Wow" factor. As sincere as they try to be, at the end of the day, they just want to be entertained.

Looks like some ecstacy fish with those imprints they get on the tab
