[edit] what about the Jesus ossuary?

The American media surpressed the discovery of the ossuary of Jesus because it was thought that because Christ ascended he would not have been burried. However, this bone box has very good chance of being a genuine grave of a man named jesus born of a joseph and mary who died between 10 and 70 AD. google cache of a good page

Googling turn up this [1] as well -- there are at least two different "Jesus son of Joseph" ossuaries...

The Telegraph has this [2]: "No one suggests that it is of Jesus Christ"

Here's another article from archaeology.org: [3]

Since someone obviously believes it to be of Jesus, it could probably be mentioned, but it seems to be far less accepted -- you'd expect skeptics of the resurrection to be trumpeting this to the ends of the earth if there was any possibility of it being genuinely of "the" Jesus.... -- Mpolo 16:00, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

You'd expect skeptics of the resurrection to be trumpeting this to the ends of the earth if there was any possibility of it being genuinely of "the" Jesus Honestly, that is how I heard about it. --The Sunborn

For crying out load, this ossuary is from a man called Jacob/James. Nutcases that want it to be from a Jesus so that they can claim it is from the Jesus don't deserve a mentioning. Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 15:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

This article is about relics attributed to Jesus; so far as I know, no Christian church has ever counted any of the ossuaries found in the Talpiot Tomb to be relics. MishaPan 14:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page move

I've moved the page to Relics of Jesus from Alleged relics of Jesus, as the latter puts forward a particular POV. I don't believe that any of the relics are real, but some people do, so putting "alleged" is hardly NPOV! --G Rutter 10:09, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Why are the Relics of Jesus not 'alleged' but the Inconsistencies in the Bible are 'alleged'? Just because some people believe these relics are real does not justify remove that word. There is clearly a pro-christian POV at work here, which isn't all that surprising considering most wikipedia users will come from the US Damburger 10:00, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I've moved this page to "Relics attributed to Jesus", to make it reflect the name of the category, after the discussion on the name of the category. This was agreed to be the most NPOV name for the category, and so is also obviously the best name for the lead article. --G Rutter 09:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
