NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — The victim might have forgiven the woman who ran him down in a Massachusetts crosswalk, but police haven't.
Police say a Pittsfield woman has been cited for running down a man named Lord Jesus Christ as he crossed a street in Northampton on Tuesday.
The 50-year-old man is from Belchertown. Officers checked his ID and discovered that, indeed, his legal name is Lord Jesus Christ. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor facial injuries.
Police say 20-year-old Brittany Cantarella was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Many years ago I worked in a detox that doubled as a crisis intervention unit for psych patients, and I once heard a nurse on the phone ask someone, "Which one are you?" Later I learned several people with the name "Jesus Christ" occasionally stopped by, but none were Nazarene.

It is commonly said to stand for "Holy". That's the way I use it. However, many have theorized the actual origin of the saying is different. I won't burden you with all of the ideas etymologists (or rather, aspiring etymologists) have thought up.
