New York (CNN) -- Hundreds of people might have been exposed to hepatitis A while receiving communion on Christmas Day, Long Island officials said Monday.

The Nassau County Department of Health is offering vaccines to those who attended two services at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Massapequa Park in Long Island, New York, according to Nassau County Department of Health spokeswoman Mary Ellen Laurain.

Individuals might be at risk if they received communion during the 10:30 am and noon Masses, according to a statement from the county health department.

While the article says that people got it from at least one clergyman, the question of whether Jesus had hep A. After all, those hundreds of people drank his blood and ate his flesh...

(Also, I have to wonder how many young boys were exposed outside of mass.)

1. It's a miracle!

Or God's will. Or something along those lines.

3. Well, the biblical accounts of the crucifixion

that say his side was stabbed and nothing came out but water does suggest his liver was in bad enough shape to produce ascites, fluid in the abdominal cavity.

Considering the only fluid that was safe to drink back then was wine, it's a pretty safe bet that's exactly what happened, if it happened at all.
