Jesus Makes Easter Appearance at Bruins Hockey Game and Team Wins; 'Receives Fan of the Game' (VIDEO)
A mock Jesus made an appearance at the Bruins hockey game in Boston on Easter Sunday. A man named Thor was titled "Fan of the Game," for dressing up as Jesus on the religious holiday.
Thor secured tickets through Twitter for Sunday's game and scored VIP-quality seats. Once the cameraman spotted the man dressed as Jesus, he was publicized for all to see and the audience cheered him on.

Thor, reportedly then started running around the stadium to pump the crowd up. Patheos.com stated that one of the guards then told the Jesus imposter to return to his seat. On a video posted to Instagram a guard can be seen mocking the young man behind his back as he tried to get him to return to his assigned seat.
Yahoo Sports reported that fans in the crowd, booed him, but Thor responded to them on Twitter and said that it was the exact opposite.
@YahooSports i was never booed. Everyone loved me.

Patheos said fans instead began handing him their tickets just so he would not get in trouble and eventually the guards just let him go. During the third period, of the hockey game, the camera found him once again and he was named "Fan of the Game," as every one in attendance praised the costumed fan.

Thor told Patheos that his hair is that length because he decided to grow it out after learning a family member had cancer and plans to cut it off and donate it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths where it can be used to make wigs for cancer patients.
He also said that he intends to dress up as Jesus again. "Every time I've gone to a Bruins game dressed as Jesus, we have won," he said. The Boston Bruins went on to win the game against the Detroit Red Wings, 4-1.
