It's a good day for Chrises everywhere.

Acomb Parish, a Baptist church in York, United Kingdom, were getting ready for their Easter festivities on Sunday by ordering four banners enscribed with the words "Christ is Risen" on them.

The church ended up with banners with the phrase "Chris is Risen" instead. Luckily, the printers discovered the error before delivering them to the parish.

Even though it's not technically what the church was going for, it's very possible there is a Chris out there somewhere, who has risen. He probably has a lot of things to do with his day, after all.
