Three year old priest in Colombian becomes viral hit

Samuel Jaramillo, from Medellin, Colombia, asked Santa Clause for priest’s garments and all of the necessary objects to give Mass, rather than toys last Christmas. Little Samuel goes to church every Sunday and Tuesday with his grandmother. At home, instead of playing with cars or plastic figures he plays church.  He stands at his makeshift altar and preaches.

Samuel is an orphan and lives with his grandmother and aunt in Medellin, Colombia.

In the video you can see that Samuel fervidly addresses his flock and relays the word of god.  One must admit that the sight is one of the cutest things ever.  His YouTube video has clocked over 500,000 views.
