Mr Souza told local media: “We cut this same trunk into two pieces after changing the chain and that was when this piece of perfection appeared.”
He took some pictures of the cut branch with the intriguing figure inside of it and shared on social media, which subsequently went viral.
Some on social media believed the pattern on the branch really depicted Jesus watching over us during these troubled times, others thought it was just an abstract image.
Alien life conspiracy theorist Scott Waring took to his etdatabase.com blog to share his bizarre belief the incident sends ‘a message to those destroying the rainforest’.
