Just after midnight on Ash Wednesday 2002, a light in the shape of a cross was discovered in the back window of a home in the southern California desert town of Thermal. Visitors came in large numbers to see the cross, sometimes lining up 20 deep along the dirt road which leads to Jesus and Concepcion Aceves' home.
Three years later, the cross still shines in the window, and people still visit the home. In the past year, visitors have come for weekly religious services as well as a glimpse of the cross. The back door is surrounded by flowers and crucifixes, and portraits of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. "Most people who come here have faith," said Coral Aceves, Jesus' and Concepcion's granddaughter. "They come here by word of mouth. They need something. They want to heal in some way. Miracles happen on this site."
