It was a real hump-day surprise.
A shocking viral video showed a camel forcefully kicking a woman attending a Christmas celebration at a Texas megachurch.
The woman was injured during a “Christmas Spectacular” celebration, which involved a real-life nativity scene with live animals, at the Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston.
The clip, which has racked up over one million views on social media, captured the massive camel being walked in a procession down the aisle during the show.
The camel, which was being escorted by a person in costume, suddenly jerked back its hind leg and back-kicked a woman seated by the aisle, the clip showed.
The woman, who seemingly took the hoof to the face, appeared to be instantly knocked out by the abrupt hit, sending several churchgoers rushing to tend to her.
A second camel was shown trotting down the aisle alongside more costumed performers, right behind its aggressive cohort.
The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment and has since been released, according to Click2Houston.
Church communications director Steven Miori told NBC News in a statement that “an unexpected incident occurred when a camel used in the production struck a guest in the audience.”

It is written about that topic .
They shouldn’t have tried to force that camel through the eye of a needle .
I assume the church will assume damages.
I imagine those camels were stressed, being in narrow spaces and such.
Maybe that camel knew she was a Karen!
That’s quite a camel toe she got there!:/
A full grown camel inside a crowded church.....what could go wrong?
At Christmas our church usually has sheep and goats in a pen OUTSIDE with their handlers always nearby.
This was obviously just a plain old bad idea.
Not a good comment.
Not funny.
Bringing wild animals into a building packed with people. Stupid
There has to be other ways to let a woman know her perfume is very over whelming.
I’ve seen horses kick just out of happiness and not maliciousness.
Camels are simply easily annoyed.
Another islamic terror attack.
Cameltoe to the face.
But, the’re such cute petable animals LOL!
That’s not shocking, that’s hilarious. Just desserts for supporting one of those $$$ “churches”.
My understanding is that camels are nasty animals and not safe to be around.
Hard for me to believe that anyone would bring a camel INSIDE a church.???
Well, once it got its nose under the opening, there was no stopping it
One of the descriptions was “the woman who seemingly took a hoof to the face was apparently instantly knocked out.”
Well there’s some definitive reporting... seemingly!
Camels bite and spit. The spit is a mix of the contents of their stomach mixed with bile , horrible stench.
