A break in the clouds allowed the sunlight to seep through in the form of a crucifix. The mesmerising beam of light shines down on Earth, looking eerily similar to the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil. Italian artist Alfredo Lo Brutto snapped a picture of the stunning shot in which it looks like a man’s arms are stretched across the sky.

Many have likened the image to Christ being crucified and claim it could indeed be a sign from God.
