I have seen at least one article claiming the lock of hair is of Virgin Mary, but from other articles -- that it belongs to the brother. Does anyone know what people really say there?

Also, who proved that the documents are forgery? This should be explained or at least a simple reference given.

I can't help but wonder what Jesus woulda' thought about the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere.Obbop 14:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Here is a copy of an article from the magazine entitled: Awake!
The Grave of Christ in Japan?

IN 1935, Koma Takeuchi, a Shinto priest, announced that he had discovered the grave of Jesus Christ on a hill in the village of Shingo, in northern Japan. He claimed that documents found in a family storehouse showed that Jesus had lived for a time in Shingo and died there. Searching for Jesus’ burial place, he came upon a mound and concluded that it was the grave.

Then, a Hebrew document reportedly found at the Takeuchi family’s shrine asserted that Jesus had visited Japan twice and had even studied mysticism with Japanese priests. The account alleges that Jesus, having been betrayed, fled from Judea to the Siberian wilderness, then traveled to Japan, married a local girl named Miyuko, fathered three daughters, and died at the age of 106. According to the tale, the man who was put to death in Jerusalem was not Jesus but his younger brother Isukiri.

What might the motivation be for such a story? According to the newspaper Mainichi Shimbun, the link between Jesus and Shingo “suggests economic possibilities to which the local authorities are far from blind.” Thus, sightseeing is encouraged. Probing too deeply is not. “Supposing the grave was dug up and they found nothing but old cow bones,” said one observer. “Imagine how disappointed everyone would be.”

So each year on May 3, visitors dutifully assemble before the alleged grave of Jesus to celebrate the “Christ Festival.” A Shinto priest presides over the occasion and exorcises evil spirits before the dancing begins.

Is there any truth to this tale? No. The Bible tells us that by the age of 30, Jesus was known, not as a world traveler, but as a carpenter’s son who had grown up in Nazareth. The four Gospels contain eyewitness accounts of Christ’s preaching in Israel from the age of 30 to 33. They include places and dates and confirm that it was Jesus Christ himself who was put to death in Jerusalem. Thus, genuine Christians are not swayed by extravagant reports that seek to distort Bible truth for selfish purposes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.59.196 (talk) 21:16, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Bible truth my ass, the claims in this article are just as verifiable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.149.56.82 (talk) 23:42, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

@24.57.59.196 "The Bible tells us..." Read this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorship_of_the_Bible. It is clear that just because a book written hundreds of years ago tells a story, it doesn't mean that story is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.154.92.133 (talk) 22:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Funny how people on Wikipedia are complaining about the Bible not being accurate when it says that the universe had a beginning and that Alexander the Great existed which is what Wikipedia says too. Hoo boy skeptics nowadays. Sioraf (talk) 07:40, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Removal of the subheading "Local attractions"; alleged grave of Jesus
Despite several prior warnings (by users Flyer22 Reborn, Everedux, and Quahog), an editor using the IP address 116.240.151.15 continues to remove the "==Local attractions==" subheading without giving a suitable rationale.

This change (resulting in the text about the purported last resting place of Jesus subsumed in the "Transportation" section) does not make sense and is unhelpful to the reader. Obviously this Wikipedia article should not lend excessive credibility to the historical accuracy of the Jesus claims, but the existence of these claims is undoubtedly notable and supported by reliable sources such as the cited BBC article.

Similarly, 116.240.151.15's repeated deletions of the link to this article from Tomb of Jesus are not helpful. As explained in the lede of that article, it is a list of "places that have been proposed as the location of such a tomb", without claiming that each and every one of these proposals are historically accurate.

Jesus retired in Japan as a Rice or Garlic Farmer?
In this Wikipedia article we are commenting it says "garlic" farmer. In this other Wikipedia article it says "rice farmer" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_Jesus#Kirisuto_no_haka. Other fonts (e.g. Holy Bible) say that he is not buried anywere, as he resurrected. The last version being more credible (imagine that people are swearing it... on the Bible). For some other fonts, Jesus wasn't interested in farming, but rather in fishing (probably souls, although it is not clear if "souls" is a specie of fish, as it is not mentioned like that in Wikipedia ichthyic sections). Recently I heard people in the supermarket near my Shikumen who allegedly claim that Jesus boarded on a spaceship directed first to K2-18b and possibly scheduling arrival in Phoenix A center (where he probably established HQ). Despite those claims, still the rice vs garlic discussion is having traction on social media and The People would like to see Wikipedia having one single and clarifying position on the matter. 94.113.118.58 (talk) 14:16, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
