Man Arrested For 'impersonating Jesus' After He Is Spotted Carrying A Big Cross On His Back.

The man has been accused of blasphemy by local church leaders who said his bizarre act 'offends believers'.





A man has been arrested for impersonating Jesus Christ after he was spotted walking along a road carrying a huge wooden cross on his back.
Artist and filmmaker Ilya Novikov, 23, was behind the stunt in the city of Perm in central Russia's Perm Krai region.


But he was accused of blasphemy by local church leaders and fell foul of police for being a potential traffic hazard.
A video filmed by an eyewitness shows the bearded artist wearing long flowing white robes as he walks along the pavement with a T-shaped cross.


Motorists and pedestrians shouted insults at Mr Novikov, and one bystander called the police fearing he could distract passing traffic.
Two policemen quickly arrived on the scene to arrest him - but struggled to fit his cross in the back of their patrol car.




They eventually succeeded and took Mr Novikov to a police station for questioning and he was later released.
A police spokesman said: "A man in white clothes, carrying a cross, was spotted by onlookers and police were called to the scene. Officers talked with the man at the police station and let him go."


Mr Novikov said: "My friend gave me some wooden sticks so I made a cross out of them. The experience of Jesus Christ was repeated. People were laughing, shouting and mocking me.
"This reaction proves that the Bible story was true and that after 2,000 years people have still not changed - we are still cruel and intolerant to our neighbours."
But Father Igor Anoufriev, the rector of the city's Church of St George, condemned the stunt as blasphemy.

  13. It might seems like blasphemy to some, but i took some points from what the actor said: If Christ decide to come today carrying His cross, aren't bystander going to mock Him or even throw stones at Him?

    I just see it like, the actor was carrying his own cross like every other person. We carry our crosses differently though.

    2. I share your reasoning on this Mrs. Romas! To me, it is no blasphemy! People will still mock Jesus if he were to come back again!

      We live in a very cruel world!

      If only God knew what his creations* will turn into...

  14. Carrying the cross is not the issue, his christian life nko? It is the spiritual cross we are supposed to carry and determine our faith through that. He should check his stations of the cross to understand what it means to carry the cross.

  15. Is it now a crime to carry any wood, even if it is shaped like a cross?

    This Russian police are doing this because the man's uncle is in the opposition.
