A pony of mystery in the darkness. Or I forgot to take the lens cap off. (They/them is fine.)

Celestia goes on vacation, gets drunk, and makes a new friend.
This story is mostly respectful towards at least one two major world religions, I think.
Thank you, prereaders! Prereaders are Ninja Deadbeard, Admiral Biscuit, a large bear or something (UrsaMajor) aka Corvid.

Well, THIS was a nice way to begin Holy Week. Peace be with you, my friend.
Hold up. Since when was Jesus called ben Joseph? Religion being the scam and fake it is (fite me, delusional fools who say otherwise), I don't remember that being his name when I read the Bible.

Honestly, the inconsistency here isn't where you think it is. That part means "son of Joseph", and yes his father was named exactly what he'd have to be in order for that to make sense. However, if you're using that or "of Nazareth" in place of "Christ" you should probably be calling him Joshua, the given name he would have been known by in life. Yes, Jesus is actually a JoJo, did you not see part 7 yet?

And this is why people don't like atheists, even when they sometimes have solid points...
Came expecting a meme from the title, but got a meme with a bit of insight.
Still kind of weird seeing a more or less faithful depiction of Jesus in an MLP fanfic.
This was excellent, wow. Thank you so much for writing it. I noticed a small typo "he" repeated twice somewhere in the middle. Should be able to find it with ctrl+f I think. I didn't know you could have this kind of crossover before and actually have it be respectful. This is so cool!
Heck of a shift in mood, but you spaced it out enough for it to work quite well. Silly, yet solemn. Well done.
Next time you write a fic with Celestia and the Nazarene, make it Steel Ball Run...
Ponies, and Jesus. Both are in Steel Ball Run
In this context "Ben" means "son of" (learned that from a poem we went over in school that started
"Abou Ben Adam may his tribe increase."
& yeah, it's the traditional form of Jewish names. Last names were imposed on them for tax purposes during the Middle Ages.
Jesus' real name was Ioshva. (The letters J & U were invented later.)

Personally, I quite liked Bulgakov's version of Ha-Nozri.

Well, that would have been his Latin name. In Aramaic, which was the vernacular for the region at the time, and likely the form that he was named in, it would be Yeshua. You are 100% correct about the naming convention, too.
11209079
i thought it was Yeshua

Though i do wonder how Christianity and Islam have developed such different names for Jesus
in Islam Jesus is called 'Isa ibn Maryam' which means 'Isa son of Mary' btw

In the Bible, there are 2 different genealogies of Jesus, (Mathew(?) & Luke). Supposedly, Luke traced Mary's line & the other was Joseph's.
LOTS of weird theories about the Bible. One of them was that King Arthur wasn't looking for the Holy Grail (San Greal) but for a descendant of Jesus (Sang Real) to be king.
Definitely a little blasphemous by the standards of most churches.
But I think He would like it.

Depends if you are using the Aramaic or the Latin version of His name.
I am amused at the retcon of a 2000 year old event - the solar eclipse at the Crucifixion - as the intervention of Celestia
hehe, good ol' Mediterranean cuisine! also very Celestia to focus on the food, love her
oof! though to be fair to Celestia, it's a change that Twilight made to something that she'd been doing for a literal millennium!
dang, couldn't Jesus have spared a thought for the local winemaking economy before miraculously generating divinely perfect wine? rude!
this does NOT fit the timeline of the canon! it doesn't even come close! argle blargle
haha, love the knowing use of these common English phrases. very cheeky!
dang, Celestia is a really mean drunk!
gottem
now that's a crackship!
there is something je ne sais quoi about the Alicorn Princesses misinterpreting the carrying of the cross as a fun festival race. whatever it is, i feel thankful for the unlikely confluence of events that brought me to the moment of contemplating this idea
hehe, always love it when these deity horses swear on themselves
ah that je ne sais quoi again. love it!
Celestia of Cyrene!
much like how Celestia acts, really makes you think
so true. augh, why can't i be there instead of here?
hahaha, Celestia being responsible for the darkening of the sky during the Crucifixion! ah, i love this so much. and this line was beautiful
now i desperately want to connect this with one of the women that were present in the lore. maybe Berenike? she is a favorite of mine
and a wonderfully ambiguous end.
yet another uniquely delightful experience. thank you for this birb!

because they are too stupid to accept the truth when it is not presented to them on a platter and with a bow ?
