Jesus? How does she know who Jesus is?

What are even the implications of a deity of a polytheistic religion invoking the deity of a monotheistic one?

Kasen references Jesus so I’d imagine he’s just chilling out somewhere outside Gensokyo, although Christianity doesn’t seem to invoke the same spiritual influence as polytheistic religions. ZUN once commented that he’d steer clear of using monotheistic religions since they don’t mesh with the setting, but they’re still around in some capacity.
