Phone captures a Christ like figure spotted in the sky

A stunning image of a Christ like figure has been captured bursting through the clouds over Argentina.

The photo was taken in the city of San Salvador de Jujuy and spread rapidly on social media.

People have compared it to the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.

Monica Aramayo used her smartphone to capture the white of the sun lighting up the sky and a figure appearing with his arms outstretched.

The fervently Catholic South American country's social media users compared it to the portrayal commonly seen in Renaissance artwork.

Others said it resembles more like Jesus Christ coming down to take his chosen people.
