Jesus Of Nazareth Research Paper

“He was buried in the parish church. Six years later, his remains were transferred to a sarcophagus built in Arquà by his son-in-law.”

What does the Bible say about the location? The Gospel writers named the site where Jesus was crucified Golgotha, Aramaic for "the skull." The Bible does not tell us the exact location of Golgotha but says that Jesus’ crucifixion took place outside of Jerusalem, yet very close. Jewish law did not

Two thousand years ago, the birth of Jesus, arguably the most influential man the world has ever seen, altered history forever. Christians know him as the Messiah, the son of God who came to save all of mankind, and for others, he may just be a great teacher and person of history. It is the latter that Reza Aslan attempts to shed an unbiased light on by comparing the Jesus that modern Christians believe in to the Jesus that Aslan believes would have fit into first-century Palestine: a violet revolutionary, dedicated to the eradication of the Roman government in Israel and the deposition of the rich priestly class. Aslan paints a portrayal of Jesus using knowledge of the time period, Scripture that has been taken out of context and misinterpreted, and most of all, the author’s imagination and powerful rhetoric to cover up his faulty argumentation. In his book Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, Reza Aslan recreates an interesting but purely speculative image of the historical Jesus through exploring the political and social history of first-century Palestine, the life and teachings of Jesus, and the development of early Christianity.

Two days before, an unknown American soldier, who had fallen somewhere on a World War I battlefield, arrived at the nation's capital from a military cemetery in France. On Armistice Day, in the presence of President Harding and other government, military, and international dignitaries, the unknown soldier was buried with highest honors beside the Memorial Amphitheater. As the soldier was lowered to his final resting place, a two-inch layer of soil brought from France was placed below his coffin so that he might rest forever atop the earth on which he died.

From before the Great Schism of the church, in the Byzantine period, Christians have been reenacting the moment of the death and burial of Jesus. The ritual has been modified according to the church, the culture and the symbolism of different countries. In our days Epitaphios are done by churches who maintain the connection with traditions from the undivided Church in the early centuries. They carry the icon of the burial of Jesus into the streets, not to proclaim that God is dead but to reaffirm that God has done amazing

In 1983, terrorist target two places: Lebanon and United States. The first target which was in Beirut where US embassy was located, about 63 people died including, 17 Americans. There were two bombs that struck separate buildings in United States and in French military forces. Among the people who died in the French military forces were member of multinational forces (MNF). Consequently, 299 Americans were killed in the attack together with French servicemen. In these attacks, the group that claimed to be responsible for the bombings was Islamic Jihad. American and French soldiers who were killed during the attacks had gone on a mission to restore peace in the war-torn nation. During the attack, there were simultaneous attack both on French

In Jesus’s story after he died on the cross he was taken down and buried

it would have been impossible to maintain that Jesus was alive if his tomb still had his body in it, particularly as the disciples first claimed that Jesus had risen from the dead in Jerusalem - the very place where Jesus had died and been buried, so it would have been easy to disprove if the tomb was not indeed empty. The earliest Jewish arguments against Christianity at the time tried to suggest that the disciples stole the body (despite the fact that no eyewitnesses attest to this) - neither Jewish nor Roman accounts at the time dispute that the tomb was empty, which would surely have been the best argument to start with if it was - see Roman lawyer Tertullian in De Spectaculis Chapter XXX, or Justin Martyr in Dialogue with Trypho. If you want recent academic opinion on this, see Austrian scholar Jacob Kremer 's book Die Osterevangelien: Geschichten um Geschichte, in which he cites 28 scholars who support his claim that the biblical statements on the tomb being empty are historically accurate.

The pilgrimage to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a rite of personal devotion that Christians undergo to have a greater connection with Jesus through its physical connection with his final days. It is considered to be both the place of crucifixion and the tomb for Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus was according to the New Testament crucified in Golgotha which is known as “the place of the skull”. This has since been identified as a cluster of stone quarries on the outskirts of the city that had been abandoned. After 10 years from crucifixion walls were put up around the tomb and area of execution to make the Holy Sepulchre inside Jerusalem. The Roman emperor Constantine I had the temple of Venus demolished for the use of a new church, in the middle

The mournful women went to the tomb of Jesus to complete the burial ritual of anointing His body early that morning. On the way, they had probably discussed how they would maneuver the heavy stone located at the entrance. The women, including Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary, the mother of James and others, discovered the stone had been rolled away from the tomb entrance. I am certain they were puzzled, and I wonder what thoughts went through their minds as they stepped inside the tomb empty. I wonder how their emotions overtook them when suddenly, an angel appeared and said, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! "

Toward 1600 B.C., however, they suddenly began to put their dead in deep shaft graves and, a little later, in conical stone chambers, known as beehive tombs. This development reached its height toward 1300 B.C. in such inspiring structures as the one shown in figures 106 and 107, built of having the same centre one of several sheets of clear cut stone blocks. Its discoverer thought it far to determine to succeed for a tomb and gave it the misleading name the treasury of Uterus. Burial places as elaborate as this can be matched only in Egypt during the same period.

When Jesus arrived to Golgotha, He was nailed to the cross and soon after dies. The symbol of Jesus’ crucifixion is what Christians live by. It represents Jesus sacrificing his life to save humanity from their evil sins. When He died, He was taken down from the cross and was buried in a tomb, where He resurrected into Heaven and was seated at the right Hand of God. Jesus’ resurrection symbolizes two things. First, it proves to Christians that Jesus is the Son of God (Curtis). In the Bible, Paul affirmed that Christ is declared to be the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead (Rom. 1:4). Second, Jesus’ resurrection represented an assurance that all of humanity is saved and forgiven for their sins (Curtis).

On October 6, 1973, Syrian and Egyptian forces launched a coordinated attack against Israel Yom Kippur, the holiest day of them Jewish Calendar. The reason for the war was to recapture territories that were lost to Israel during the third Arab Israeli War in 1967. The Israeli Defence Forces was totally surprised and unprepared for such an attack. The Egyptian troops maneuverer into the Sinai Peninsula, while Syria attempted to remove the Israeli troop that occupied the Golan Heights. The Combined forces of Egypt and Syria totalled eight hundred and seventy-five thousand (875,000) men, four hundred and fifty (450) combat aircrafts, two thousand five hundred (2500) tanks, three thousand armoured fighting vehicles and one thousand seven hundred (1700) artillery pieces. The Israeli armed forces counter attacked with four hundred thousand (400,000) Men, five hundred (500) Combat aircraft, one thousand seven hundred (1,700 Tanks), three thousand five hundred (3,500) Armoured fighting vehicles and one thousand (1,000) Artillery pieces. However, with the correct application of mission command principles Major General Avraham Adan of the Israeli 162nd Armoured division counterattacked which led to the recapturing of the Golan Heights and ultimately a seize fire on October 25, 1973.

Summary: Mary and Mary Magdalene went and looked at the tomb and were shocked when they saw an appearance “like lightning” wearing “clothes white as snow.” Jesus had been crucified, as the angel had told them, and the women were told to go to Galilee and then to tell Jesus’s disciples to do the same. While the women were coming back, the elders and the chief priests met and told the soldiers to tell the people that Jesus’s disciples had gone during the night and had taken him away while they were asleep. Then, the 11 disciples arrived in Galilee and met with Jesus. Though some doubted, they all listened to Jesus say that he would be with them until the end of time.

If Jerusalem is the holiest city for the Jews, then Mashhad in Iran is the holiest to the Shiite Muslims. Literally meaning “the burning place of the martyr”, Mashhad is the site of martyrdom of one of the most revered figures in Shia Islam. The Imam Reza shrine (a complex housing the martyr's mausoleum) was later built in his honor. The shrine is one of the many shrines that Shiite Muslims visit for pilgrimage.
