A video that has gone viral captures the moment a priest gives an altar boy a ‘heavy’ knock for failing to hold the microphone steady while a couple said their vows during a wedding.

The video which has set off an uproar was shared on social media.

In the trending video clip, the altar boy was seen holding the microphone to the couple who were saying their wedding vows.

However, his hand was shaking slightly and the priest kept pointing at the direction he should hold the device.

Finding it difficult to keep it steady, the priest decided to give the altar boy a knock on the head.

The video has sparked outrage online, as some wonder what the man could do behind camera, if he could do such in broad daylight.
