Funny Christmas Relgious Jokes

For Christians, the birth of Jesus Christ has a deep spiritual significance,
but that does not mean to say that worshipers cannot enjoy a good clean joke at
Christmas.

 

Un-Holy Christmas Tale
From the Inn
At BethlehemSchool Nativity Joke - Christian Joke

Did you hear about the St Michael’s Primary School nativity play?
Two
children are dressed as Mary and Joseph, and they are on their way to the inn
at Bethlehem.

Meanwhile on the other side of the stage, a lad in a shepherd’s
outfit is on a mobile phone.  He is calling the inn to make a reservation.

Another Christmas Nativity Joke

Place:  The Middle School nativity play.
Scene: The Inn at
Bethlehem on Christmas Eve.

Joseph: Do you have any room at the inn?
Inn Keeper: (Over-playing his role)  Yes, plenty,
come on in.

Joseph: [Jaw drops, speechless]

Footnote:
In the nativity play, the inn keeper is
supposed to say ‘There is no room in the inn’, and this is how the baby
Jesus came to be born in a stable.

Father John and His Young Parishioner

It was the Sunday after Christmas at St Peter and Saint Paul’s Church in
Borden, Kent, England.  Father John was looking at the nativity scene
prior to packing away the figures when he noticed the baby Jesus was missing
from the scene.

Immediately, Father John turned towards the vicarage in order to call the
police. But as he was about to do so, he saw little Harry with a red wagon,
and in the wagon was the figure of the little infant, Jesus.

Father John walked up to Harry and said, ‘Well, Harry, where did you get
the little infant?’

Harry replied honestly, ‘I took him from the church, Father John.’

‘And why did you take him?’

With a sheepish smile, Harry said, ‘Well, about a week before Christmas I
prayed to little Lord Jesus. I told him if he would bring me a red wagon for
Christmas, I would give him a ride around the block in it.’

This funny religious joke is an ideal yarn
to spin at any Christmas party.

Just after Christmas Father Michael, was walking along the pavement in front of his church
when he heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.  Apparently, his 5-year-old son, Rory, and his playmates had found a dead
robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a
small box and some cotton wool, then dug a hole and made ready for the
disposal of the deceased.

Rory, the minister’s son was chosen to say the
appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of
what he thought his father always said, ‘Glory be unto the Faaather,
and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.’

Religious Education

  • The Bible is full of
    interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked ‘Am I my brother’s
    son?’
  • When Mary heard she was the mother of Jesus, she sang the ‘Magna Carta’.

  • Solomom had three hundred
    wives and seven hundred porcupines
  • Christians have only one spouse. This is called monotony
  • Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten
    commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
  • In my maths class I told the kids that we were going to investigate Even
    and Odd.  One boy blurted out, ‘I know that Bible story!’  When I
    stopped laughing I said, ‘I think you mean Adam and Eve.’

If College Students Wrote
the Bible

The Bible was written centuries ago by the Apostles. But what if it was
written by college students? Most likely it would be a lot different. Here’s
what it might look like if College Students Wrote the Bible:

  • The ‘Blood of Christ’ would be switched from red wine to beer in a
    keg.
  • The Last Supper would have cold leftovers for the next morning.
  • The Ten Commandments would be only five, double-spaced, and written
    in large font.
  • A New edition would be written every two years in order to limit
    reselling.
  • The Forbidden Fruit would have been eaten not because it was
    forbidden but because it wasn’t dorm food.
  • Paul’s Letter to the Romans would be Paul’s E-Mail addressed to
    [email protected].
  • The reason Cain killed Abel would be because they were roommates.
  • The place where the end of the world occurs would be Finals, not
    Armageddon.
  • Instead of mules, the preferred mode of transportation would be
    mountain bikes.
  • The reason why Moses and his followers walked in the desert for 40
    years would be because they didn’t want to ask directions and look like
    Freshmen.
  • The Tower of Babel would be blamed for the Foreign Language
    requirement.
  • Instead of God creating the world in six days and resting on the
    seventh, He would have put it off until the night before it was due and
    then pulled an all-nighter.

The Meaning of ’12 Days of Christmas’

There is one particular Christmas Carol that has
always baffled Will and Guy. What in the world do leaping lords, French
hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won’t come out of the
pear tree have to do with Christmas?

We would like to thank a site
reader, who emailed us, to let us know the real meaning behind this carol.

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to
practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a
catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the
surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church.
Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the
children could remember.12 Days of Christmas Carol

  1. The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.
  2. Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.
  3. Three French hens
    stood for faith, hope and love.
  4. The four calling birds were the four
    gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
  5. The five golden rings recalled
    the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
  6. The six
    geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
  7. Seven swans a-swimming
    represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit: Prophesy, Serving,
    Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
  8. The eight
    maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
  9. Nine ladies dancing were the
    nine fruits of the Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
    Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
  10. The ten lords
    a-leaping were the ten commandments.
  11. The eleven pipers piping stood for
    the eleven faithful disciples.
  12. The twelve drummers drumming symbolized
    the twelve points
    of belief in the Apostles’ Creed.

So there is your
history for today.

This knowledge was shared with us and we found it
interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a
Christmas Carol, so pass it on if you wish.

One More Funny Religious Christmas Joke

Father O’Malley and the Clever
Christmas Beggars

It’s just before Christmas and two beggars are sitting on a park bench in Ireland.
One is holding a cross and the other a Star of David there is a steady
stream of shoppers.  Father O’Malley, the priest observes that both are holding hats to collect contributions.  People walk by,
lift their noses at the man with the Star of David and drop money into the
hat of the man with the cross.  Soon, the hat of the man with the cross
is filled and the hat of the man with the Star of David is empty.

Father O’Malley, having watched for a while, approaches the
beggars. He says to the man with the Star of David, ‘Don’t you realize that this
is a Catholic country?  You’ll never get any contributions holding a
Star of David.’

The man turns to the one with the cross and says, ‘Moishe, can you
imagine, this goy is trying to tell us how to run our business?’

A Reminder of the Real Christmas Story

It all started with the Angel Gabriel just over 2000 years ago. The Angel Gabriel proclaimed that Mary would have a
very special baby and that the newborn would called Jesus.

If we move forward to Bethlehem, Mary and her husband Joseph, went to town to pay their taxes. Unfortunately, there was nowhere for them to stay,
so they took shelter in a stable.  There in Bethlehem, in a manger, the baby Jesus was born.Jesus in Manger. Wise men bring first Christmas gifts

A bright star in the East guided wise men to the stable.  They brought with them
gifts Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. This informal ceremony has extended to the celebration of Christmas as we know it today.

Angels on the Christmas Tree

The fairy at the top of the Christmas tree was originally a little figure
of the baby Jesus.  In late seventeenth century Germany this became a
shining angel. In Victorian Britain, little girls would take the angel down
after Christmas and dress him in dolls’ clothes. Eventually the angel turned
into a thoroughly female fairy, complete with wand. The transformation was
boosted by the pantomimes that became popular in the Victorian era – and,
naturally, included a good fairy in the cast. Making Angels at Christmas

Cherubs hung on trees, represent the angels who heralded the birth of
Christ. This particular example (right) was found in Canterbury Cathedral, Kent,
England.

The star, which forms one of the most important ornaments of the
Christmas tree, indicates the guiding star which led the shepherds and the
magi to the new born Jesus Christ in the stable in Bethlehem.

Stars have knocked angels off the top of the nation’s Christmas trees.
Will and Guy have heard that demand has fallen so much that some street
retailers have dropped angel tree toppers from shops this year. A decade ago
angels were still outselling star tree toppers but now stars outsell angels
more than 10-fold.
