Rudolph wasn’t the only one making a run for it on Christmas.

Two sheep escaped from a Southie church service on Christmas Eve before Boston police officers helped corral the fleeing duo.

At around 4 p.m., police officers responded to Boston Street in Andrew Square near Our Lady of Czestochowa Catholic Parish. The officers were responding to a report of two sheep on the lam.

“A white sheep and a black sheep had escaped from a Christmas service,” a Boston Police spokesperson said on Monday. “They were captured and returned to the church.”

Video of the Christmas Eve sheep incident made the rounds on social media.
