this is funny stuff
A bearded face, with long flowing hair, is plainly visible on the wooden door of the men?s toilet in the Braehead outlet of the Swedish furniture and meatballs giant.
Some debate over whether the face truly represents the Son of Man, or whether it is in fact Gandalf out of the Lord of the Rings, or even a member of ABBA.
One shopper said: "It takes you by surprise. It is really clear in the wood.
"I was only heading to the toilet and found God.
"My wife thought He looked like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings but it is definitely more like the Turin Shroud.
"It's certainly not what you expect to find in an Ikea store. Mind you, you need a little divine intervention to get out of here sometimes."
In a further twist, Ikea bosses claim that the image is really Benny Anderson, of the Eurovision Song Contest-winning Swedish 1970s Europop outfit ABBA.
A spokeswoman said: "Swedishness is engrained in every part of our stores."
If the image is agreed to be Jesus, rather than a fictional wizard or a bearded, middle-aged pop singer, it may be the oddest place for a vision of the Saviour since a Welsh woman spotted His face in the lid of a jar of Marmite during breakfast in May this year.
