INTRODUCTION
At Catholic Mass, March 31 , 2023, Psalm 117 and John 20:1-9 was read.
It is curious that the Muslims believe that Jesus never died.
(Surah 41-57 ) says: ” in fact they did neither kill him, nor crucify him, but they were deluded by resemblance.Those who disputed in this matter are certainly in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, but they follow whims. It is absolutely certain that they did not kill him,”
Of course they crucified Jesus but we all know today that a dead man does not bleed as the gospel tells that he did and a man never dies on a cross if the knees are not broken.
That the Romans and the Pharisees believed that Jesus died was convenient for Jesus’ 12 followers. They did not risc to get caught and tortured to reveal where he went after his burial.
I believe that he came back “alive” from a faint on the cross and cured with Aloe juice, in the private cave of Joseph of Arimatea.
This was the resurrection for me.
I believe that Jesus then fled north with a camel caravan through the desert of Jordan, to Maaloula, a village north of the lake of Galilee in the province of Syria Palestinae where noone knew about him. From Maaloula the caravan took him to Srinagar in Kashmir where Kashmir people believe that he later died and was buried in The Roza Bal shrine in Srinagar.
I love Jesus and follow him in my own way, loving God, its creation with all its beings, humans and animal, on this planet.

John 20:1-9 says:
1 On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
2 So she ran 4 and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.”
3 So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
4 They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first;
5 he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
6 When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
7 and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
8 Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.
9 For they did not yet understand the scripture that he had to rise from the dead.
