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.
