But in a bizarre twist, the face also looks the spitting image of Osama bin Laden. The freakish crustacean was captured on video by the Canfield family during a crabbing trip near Everett, Washington, last weekend.
The family were unloading a pot of crabs into their boat when they filmed the creature, which has a striking resemblance to Jesus - and the dead al Qaeda terrorist - on its belly.
But the person filming the movie didn't even notice, according to mynorthwest.com, and the crab was chucked back into the ocean because it was a female and therefore illegal to keep.
The family finally spotted the holy - or evil - crab, while watching the film after they got home from holidays, and were dumbfounded.
Dad John Canfield denied the Christ-like crab was a hoax, adding 'we're not that sophisticated' to come up with one. But sadly, the video is the only evidence that remains so no one will ever know
