• South African food creator Zanele Mvelase shared the hilarious clip on Facebook, prompting a wave of humorous comments online
• Comments ranged from light-hearted jokes to reflections on sin, with users thoroughly entertained by the incident

A man portraying Jesus Christ on the cross during a church service, possibly for Easter, took a small tumble as he appeared before the congregants. Social media users erupted with laughter and, of course, joked about the unfortunate situation.

Food content creator Zanele Mvelase shared the clip on her Facebook account, receiving thousands of views from entertained people online. Although the Jesus actor, who donned a thorn crown and a fake blood-stained garment, had three people carrying the cross behind him, he still met the floor, which wasn't too far from him. Despite being met with laughter from the congregants, the man still arose, just as Jesus had resurrected from the dead on Easter.
