A well-meaning octogenarian has stunned art experts after taking it upon herself to restore a treasured century-old fresco - with distinctly amateurish results.

Elias Garcia Martinez's depiction of Jesus has held pride of place in a Spanish church for more than 120 years.

But over the past 18 months moisture in the church caused the fresco to deteriorate - prompting a local woman in her 80s to whip out her paintbrush and try and fix it herself.

Anyone else getting that feeling of Deja Vu?

Wishing you peace, love and happiness, brother/sister.

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Oh bless her, she meant well.

Life is a hideous business, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous.

Yes, me. I thought this had been posted before, but when I did a search nothing came up.

Mine was coming from that scene from Bean.

Especially with his associate screaming "Jesus!" at the painting.
