When we generally think of priests, we think about a serious man who performs rituals for the Almighty. However, time and again, we’re reminded of the fact that priests can be savage too. Do you remember the Kerala priest busting killer moves or the Parsi priest’s crushing message for cell phone users? All we can say is that they were pretty awesome.
And now, while the world celebrated Christmas with prayers and hymns, a priest is gaining attention online for his epic exit from a midnight mass. Father Peter O’Connor of Ballyroan made a memorable exit from Christmas Eve Mass in Dublin when he went out rolling down the aisle on a scooter reports Indian Express.
Twitter user Doug Leddin, who was in the church captured the moment on his phone. Check out his Tweet:

The father, who received his special present on Christmas Eve, was so excited that he decided to show off his gift in front of the backed out church, reports Irish Mirror. His grand exit received thundering applause and people cheered for him aloud.
The elderly priest’s pure joy on receiving his present was praised by many online:
