A Personal Chef in California cuts a potato in half and the symbol of a
perfectly shaped holy cross appears. The holy potato will be auctioned off
on eBay just a week before Christmas.

It was 7:30 PM, December 4th, 2005. The second Sunday of advent, in Joshua
Tree, California. Personal Chef Karin Winkler started to prepare dinner.
While thinking about upcoming Christmas, she was peeling and cutting a
potato. Everything appeared to be normal. When she was peeling and cutting
the second potato in half, a miracle happened: the symbol of a perfectly
shaped holy cross appeared on both halves of the potato.

"I am cooking potatoes for 35 years now, but I have never seen something
like this in my whole life!" Winkler said. She feels very blessed that this
has happened to her and she truly believes that this is a special sign for
the world to pursue peace. She sees the potato as a symbol of the world and
the cutting of it's hidden cross in two perfectly shaped halves as a sign of
God to love each other, be happy and unite!

The word advent means "coming" or "arrival". It is marked by a spirit of
expectation, of anticipation, of preparation, of longing. Many people take
the appearances of crosses as a sign of divine promise, believing they
signify the return of Christ.

Winkler, who wants to keep her spiritual beliefs private, says she gave the
potato as an important gift to her son Roman who is awaiting the birth of
his first son at the beginning of the new year. Roman asked his mother to
auction off the holy potato for him and his son on eBay, starting the
auction on the third Sunday of advent, December 11, 2005, at 7:30 PM. The
auction will end on the fourth Sunday of advent, just a week before
Christmas day. Winkler says: "We want that the right person can own this
piece of a true miracle this holiday season and be very happy this
Christmas."

The holy potato is in it's original peeled and cut condition, unaltered, air
dried and not intended for consumption.
