Jesus is RISEN!

Local authorities baffled; religious heads have no explanation. The strong earthquake that struck in the early morning damaged more than just homes and injured civilians. Local authorities have revealed that it also affected the area near the grave of recently buried Jesus Christ.

In their short statement to the press, they have reported that the huge boulder used to seal the tomb was dislodged by the earthquake, and it appeared that the body is now missing from its resting place.

When interviewed, one of the special Roman guards posted to secure the tomb said sheepishly, "His disciples might have come during the night and stole him away while we were asleep."

Local authorities have yet to rule out foul play, though no arrests have been reported so far. Neither the chief priests nor the council members could be reached for comment at press time.

The authorities are now urging anyone that has seen the body of Jesus to report back to them.
