Man claims divine encounter in coma after near-fatal skateboarding fall
In autumn 2021, Gabe Puar suffered a life-threatening brain injury after a skateboarding accident. While in a coma, he claims to have experienced a profound spiritual encounter. His story has since drawn attention, alongside unusual traditions observed during a recent Holy Saturday broadcast.
Puar’s accident left doctors concerned about possible internal skull fractures. His condition was critical, and recovery seemed uncertain. Yet, during his coma, he described being awakened by what he believed was the Spirit of the Lord. After this moment, his memories returned fully.
Puar later shared vivid details of his experience, including meeting Jesus Christ. He described God as a tall figure with olive-toned skin, shoulder-length curly hair, and an Eastern appearance. He also suggested that the Shroud of Turin most closely resembles Jesus’ true likeness. Meanwhile, during the Holy Saturday broadcast from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, viewers witnessed an unexpected tradition. Arab Christians stormed the church with tambourines and drums, filling the space with energetic dances and hymns.
Puar’s account of his coma experience has added a spiritual dimension to his recovery. The unusual Holy Saturday celebrations further highlighted the cultural and religious practices tied to the season. Both events have sparked discussions about faith, tradition, and the boundaries of human experience.
