Zone1 Do you know this exclamation: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

do you!


i do!


also in German!
Have definitely heard it before, an expression of surprise or shock. It's like Penny on The Big Bang Theory, saying: "Holy crap on a cracker."
 
Ah! German for a Deaf Leppard. ;)
From Google AI:
"Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen" is a German-sounding gibberish phrase that appears at the beginning of Def Leppard's 1983 song "Rock of Ages". The phrase has no meaning, but the band has sometimes joked that it means "running through the forest silently". Producer Mutt Lange started saying the phrase because he got tired of counting the band in with "1, 2, 3, 4," and the boys liked it so they put it in the song.
 
it is international

a little lost, what exactly is the "it" you are referring too ... is the symbolism explainable also as a secular response possible for general use. as those three were.
 
It = that exclamation

of what ...

... is the symbolism explainable also as a secular response possible for general use. as those three were.

there is no reason to believe those three were of any particular religion during their time the 1st century for whatever the saying is being used for - anyway, if of a religious nature.
