Jesus (Carlisle)

This article is about the Jesus of Carlisle First Session. For the Lancaster Second Session position of the same name, see Trinity (Session 2).

Jesus is a position that was created to honor CTYer Lauren Bostjanick, more commonly known as Jesus. The role of Carlisle Jesus is not to be confused with anything Lancaster related, as this tradition was started in 08.1 and remains a Carlisle Session one only tradition.

The job of Jesus is to ensure that tradition is kept and maintained throughout the session, and take some burden away from the Emperor and Empress. Jesus always informs the entire campus the night before a celebration day, and must be tight enough with the RAs to ensure that Canon is played throughout the dances. In the past, Jesus maintained the CTY Bible, which chronicled important CTYers, RAs, incidents, Canon changes or additions, and anything else deemed important that may not make it onto RealCTY. However this has fallen out of practice The role of Jesus is filled out by a nevermore in their 3rd or 4th year of CTY Carlisle. They must have a clear love and knowledge of CTY, CTY Carlisle, and all tradition.

On the last night of the session, Jesus writes a speech to deliver. In this speech Jesus closes the session by imparting whatever words of wisdom they have about CTY, providing a moment for all to reflect on past and future sessions. At the end of the speech they declare next year's Jesus. The speech is delivered during the last HUB dinner, called Last Supper. Gathering around one or two tables (the number of tables has grown as the position stays for longer), this involves filling HUB cups with red Powerade (the blood of Christ) that has been mixed with passionfruit juice, eating bread (the body of Christ), and the previous Jesus sharpie-ing the name of the next Jesus onto the Jesus Cup. In 10.1, Noah stopped the Last Supper to inquire whether the Jesus Cup was stolen or not, probably in an attempt to confiscate it, but gave up. The new Jesus then receives the the previous Jesus's speech and the sacramental cup. It is customary to keep the speech of the past year's Jesus tucked within your lanyard, close to your heart.
