Church officials have gone ape after a pensioner tried to restore a faded painting and ended up making Jesus Christ look like a monkey.
80-year-old Celia Gimenez decided to touch up the worn fresco of Christ wearing a crown of thorns at her church in Borja, Spain.
But the 19th-century painting of Christ has now been left disfigured and church officials are pondering what to do with it.
A town official said no-one realised how badly botched the painting was until the well-meaning volunteer rang town hall to say what she had done.

A grandmother's less-than-artistic attempt to restore a century-old church fresco has turned into an unlikely art sensation, with [color=D4FFF5]thousands of people signing an online petition to save her questionable handiwork.
News of the disfiguring prompted Twitter users to post parodies online, inserting Ms Gimenez's version of the fresco into other art works, including Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper.
