This shrine reminded me of this BBC documentary exploring the idea that Jesus was a Buddhist monk who was trained in India and may have returned to India to escape Roman persecution. The film posits that the wise men from the East could have been Buddhist holy men.
At about the 40 minute marks starts the story of a town in Kashmir that claims to hold the burial place of Jesus. It contains a burial shrine with a sculpture of Jeshua's (sp?) footprints depicting the scars on his feet from the crucifixion.



I find the commonalities between the separate faiths intriguing. What do you think?
