Virgen Mary, a 20-year-old Peruvian woman, gave birth to a baby boy on Christmas day and named him Jesus, said Peru's state news agency. Wow, not much happening in Peru.Shockingly, the baby's father, Adolfo Jorge Huamani, 24, is a carpenter. Religious Peruvians compared him to Joseph the Carpenter in the Bible. Uncanny! "Two thousand years later the story of Bethlehem is relived," read the headline about the birth in El Comercio, the main newspaper in Peru, which I believe has a slightly higher circulation than my high school newspaper.
The mother, Virgen Maria Huarcaya, delivered the boy, Jesus Emanuel, in the early hours of Christmas at the central maternity hospital in Lima. "A few days ago we had decided to name my son after a professional soccer player," the father said. "But thanks to a happy coincidence this is how things ended up." Gosh, that's some wacky coincidental news!
