Pam Norrell, a farmer from Burleson, Texas, found what she described as a holy egg laid by one of her chickens. The egg was bumpy and misshapen, with what appears to be a cross on the top of the shell.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFun_N74Pow
Norrell found the egg on the evening of November 30, 2009, calling the egg a "Christmas miracle." She stated that she plans to keep the egg in a safe place, rather than eating or selling it, calling it a "miracle" that can bring joy to a lot of people.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFun_N74Pow
"Nobody decorated it, nobody did anything, but I think God did it," Norrell told the KTVT news station in an interview. She added, "at this time of year we get so taken up by presents and you know money and we forget about the reason, and I think he was just telling us 'now I'm the reason for the season.'"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFun_N74Pow
