On this date in 2014 a Catholic Priest in parochial Ireland, conducted one of many wedding ceremonies as he had done for 25 years of priesthood. He had previously told the couple Chris and Leah, that he may sing a little song for them, as he was prone to do on many other weddings...a little surprise. And so Fr Ray sang, the now famous Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah with words adapted to the occasion and personalized for the wedding couple...a little surprise!
Only this time, Fr Ray would be most surprised indeed.
A bit later, the happy couple reported to Fr Ray that the wedding video was on YouTube and he was the newest YouTube star! One thousand, two thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million??? Unbelievably, the video went viral quickly, shown across the globe by every news station on this earth, Ireland, UK, Germany, the US, Australia, the entire EU...everywhere was Father Ray Kelly singing Hallelujah! As of today, almost 56 million hits!
Since Then...
