Man Dressed As Jesus Christ Seen Pulling A Cross Made Out Of Beer Crates

A man has been seen walking up a street dressed as Jesus and pulling a cross made out of beer crates.

Footage of the moment has been uploaded to Reddit and people say it's the best thing they've seen over Easter.

The bloke was taking part in what looked like a street parade and loads of people lined the sidewalk to watch.

It seemed like people enjoyed the interesting take on Jesus' crucifixion and social media users went wild over the footage.

One person said: "Dude is dying for a drink."

Another added: "That guys gonna get so wasted he'll probably disappear for 3 days then wake up in a cave somewhere."

A third wrote: "Now that's a dude I would follow to hell and back. Or til he runs out at least."

Everyone was saying while the image of a beer drinking Jesus is enough to get anyone cackling, but it was the person filming the street parade that made them crack up even more because of his infectious laugh.

But, speaking of Jesus' crucifixion, a priest reckons he knows how Jesus actually died.

Patrick Pullicino is a former consultant neurologist at East Kent Universities Hospitals NHS Trust, who became a priest in his retirement.

Pullicino analysed work carried out by forensic and medical experts on the Shroud of Turin, a length of linen cloth bearing the negative image that some believe is a depiction of Jesus of Nazareth, saying the fabric is the burial shroud he was wrapped in after being crucified. 

The London-based priest thinks the image on the shroud – which has been preserved since 1578 – shows a man with a dislocated shoulder, saying it was pulled so far out of its socket that the right hand stretches four inches lower than the left.  

When stretched out for crucifixion, Pullicino claims this would cause the subclavian artery – a pair of large arteries in the thorax that supply blood to the head, neck, shoulder and arms – to rupture. This, he says, would have led to severe internal bleeding, the collapse of the circulatory system and death.

Around three pints of blood would have filled the cavity between the ribcage and the lung, which Pullicino explains why blood poured from Jesus when he was pierced by the centurion, with the Bible saying that a Roman soldier had pierced his side with a spear, letting blood and water to spurt out.

There you have it. Jesus' death was likely excruciating and drawn out.
