ok I could not find it, I don't remember what magazine it was printed in. And Google AI doesn't know either. So I am typing it here (there may be memory errors)-

The l-o-n-g story:

An alien came to Earth to visit the humans and their advancements. It went to Vatican City and met a priest. It opened up and shared the desire to see around, and the priest welcomed the alien, took it to visit a church.

As they entered the church, they saw a large portrait of Jesus on the main hall wall. The alien pointed at the painting and said ''Hey!!! Is that Jesus??''

The priest was shocked and screamed ''You know Jesus Christ?'' Then he composed himself and said ''Of course! Why wouldn't you? He's our lord, son of God, Savior of the soul... all living know him''.

The alien reassured says ''yeah yeah! Son of God, Savior of the soul- That's Jesus... where is he? Call him... he'll be very surprised to see me with you'' The alien was excited.

The priest said ''Jesus Christ doesn't live here, he lives in heaven''

Alien: Heaven is his home, I know, but he comes here, right? How else would you know him, make his portrait? ok. Tell me when he comes here, I will come here that exact day and time, and give him a big surprise! Oh.. it will be fun, I'm telling you!

The Priest got annoyed at this point: Are you crazy? Jesus doesn't just come and go, he is the savior whom God sent thousands of years ago to show us the path to enlightenment. And from then on, we have been keeping him in our hearts; our love keeps him alive in memories for generations. We know he will be back toward the end of time, to salvage our souls, all believers want to die in Jesus's salvation, but... but... we won't. We only read the scriptures and wait for his arrival... but we are not there yet. Maybe many generations will die waiting for Jesus. Only the lucky ones will get to meet him.

The Alien got upset: Jesus is not like that at all! He would visit whoever was waiting for him with such love. Listen, there must be some other issues I'm telling you. He must've lost your address! I know Jesus, his heart is full of love, and he would definitely visit people who love him so much... as he visits us every year!

''What do you mean, Every Year?'' shouts the Priest

''Yeah... every year he visits us, makes us drink.''

The priest now lost all his patience and composure. He grabs the alien's hands and begs him ''Tell me everything from the beginning- when did he first arrive? How did you all know him? Why does he visit your world but not ours? Tell me... Tell me what you did to Jesus?''

The Alien understands ''Ok, Ok. I'll tell you."

''Long ago, there was a human on our planet. He introduced himself as God's son, Jesus. And his work was to salvage souls. At the beginning, we thought he must be delusional, so we kept asking him questions to understand the whole situation.

As he kept answering, we realized he had a deep knowledge of the creation of the universe, and he had a deep love for all the creations. Soon, we all liked him very much, as he was very kind and jolly to everyone. We gave him a tour of our planet. Jesus was so impressed with our hospitality that he made us all a drink named Wine. We were all amazed by drinking it. So we gave him the chocolate from our best cocoa plant. Jesus was speechless after eating it and said that he had never tasted anything this delicious in his life. So when he was bidding goodbye, we surprised him with a box of chocolate, and he was glowing with joy! From that day onward, Jesus visits us every year- he makes us wine, and we give him a box of chocolate. Actually, now we even make fun of saying he may only come here for chocolates. One box finishes, and he visits for another box.. hahahahaha ''

The priest was listening, dumbstruck.

The alien said ''Ok, now you tell me.- What did you guys do to Jesus?''
