Jesus was a zombie? I like it!

Given the annoying trend of _Sense and Sensibility and Sea
Monsters_ and _Pride and Prejudice and Zombies_, we might
as well have Jesus as undead.

Vampires are also trendy and undead. Since Jesus could turn
water to wine, and the communion wine transubstantiates into
the blood of Christ, would he need to bite necks? Wouldn't he
be attracted to crosses and holy water, rather than repelled?

Irreverent minds want to know.
