For two thousand years, Jesus Christ has been called a savior, a miracle worker and a man of peace. And after making an appearance at an NHL playoff game on Easter Sunday, he can now add “Fan of the Game” to his resume.
According to UPI, a man dressed as Jesus at the TD Garden in Boston for Game 2 of the Bruins-Red Wings series had quite an eventful day that involved hitting on women, being escorted by security back to his seat, and eventually being shown on the Jumbotron after he was named “Fan of the Game.”
After walking down to the first level to “shake hands and pray through the crowd,” he started spreading the word with a lovely female Bruins fan. At that point, a security guard came down and escorted him from the area, drawing boos from the crowd.
While many in the arena and on Twitter thought he was ejected from the game and arrested, it turns out Jesus was just asked to return to his seat. He was later named “Fan of the Game,” which drew a huge ovation from the crowd when it was announced on the Jumbotron during the third period:

Maybe it was just what the Bruins and their fans needed, as Boston won the game 4-1 to even the series at one game apiece.
