Virgin Mary gave birth to 7.7 pound baby Jesus on Christmas Day. In Peru.
Really.
Twenty-year-old Virgen Maria Huarcaya delivered her newborn son, Jesus Emanuel, in the early hours of Christmas in Peru’s capital of Lima, Reuters reported.
The baby’s father, Adolfo Jorge Huamani, is a carpenter, causing religious Peruvians to compare the 24-year-old to Mary’s Biblical husband Joseph, who was a carpenter as well.
Though the boy wasn’t placed in a manger
