JERUSALEM — A shocking video has gone viral across social media, appearing to show a bolt of lightning striking a cross during a large-scale reenactment of the crucifixion of Jesus. The incident, captured during a high-budget historical production, has left both the cast and crew in a state of disbelief, with many calling it a “sign from above.”

The performer portraying Jesus was reportedly knocked unconscious by the force of the strike, though miraculously, he survived with only minor burns. Production was immediately halted as medical teams rushed to the scene. The “Watch Jesus Crucifixion Very Carefully” caption on the trending clip has sparked a global debate on whether the event was a freak accident or a spiritual message.

In a tearful interview following the event, the lead actor stated that he would no longer participate in the filming of the project. “The energy that surged through that moment was unlike anything I can describe,” he said, visibly shaken by the ordeal. He noted that the weather had been perfectly clear only moments before the sudden discharge.

Skeptics on the internet have been quick to analyze the footage, with some suggesting that the video might be a sophisticated promotional stunt for a new religious series. However, local weather stations confirm that a small, isolated electrical storm was recorded in the area precisely at the time of the incident, lending weight to the eyewitness accounts.

Religious scholars are also weighing in, citing historical accounts of dark skies and tremors during the biblical event. For many believers, the footage serves as a visceral reminder of the gravity of the Passion. For the production team, however, it remains a logistical nightmare that has indefinitely sidelined their $50 million epic.

As of today, the actor has left the set, citing a “complete change in perspective.” The producers are currently deciding whether to recast the role or scrap the production entirely. The image of the lightning-pierced cross remains the most shared religious image of the decade.
