The Bodies

Yeshua bar Yosef
Maria
Yose
Mariamne e Mara
Yehuda bar Yeshua

5 names that sound strongly and cause sensations in the believers and not believers. One tomb that was discovered while making the foundation for an apartment building. A material foundation that makes the spiritual foundation tremble.

Jesus son of Joseph
Mary
Joseph (Yose was a tender diminutive for the Yosef’s)
Mary (in Greek) Master
Judas son of Jesus

5 ossuaries, among others, discovered in a family tomb in Jerusalem in 1980. The tomb dates from the 1st century. The Christians say that the names are very common for the Hebrew people. The scientists and historians say that they are, in fact, common, but what’s not common is the combination of all those names in one same family tomb.

It can be possible. It can also not be. It can end with the faith of many. It also may make it stronger. The documentary “The Lost Tomb of Jesus” is important because it’s not for fanatics nor skeptics, it’s for everyone; it’s urgent because we live in a generation in which we have to fight in order to find things that take out the rests of the amazement capacity that we might have; it’s interesting because the testimonies that come from everywhere feel solid and valid.

Of Mariamne e Mara, I rather not say anything. Dan Brown and Hollywood already took care of her vulgar humiliation.

As of me, I’ve always preferred the feet-on-the-ground Jesus. I get along better with Willem Dafoe in “The Last Temptation of Christ” than with “the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.” The bible is too suspicious (which makes it no less interesting) and messed up by ecclesiastic authorities, as to be considered word of the Lord and even less, the irrevocable proof of the historic Jesus.

Anyway, I’ve already configured my “Personal Jesus”.
