Plastic Animation Paper - PAP:Pro 4.0 for free. "The Secret of Kells" takes the religion out of religion. Puzzling review.
First, as many others here say, not only are virtually all the principal characters Christian, but they talk *explicitly* about "faith," "saints," "sinners," "pagans," "sacred" (not secular) texts, and so on. So the Christian context to all of this is hardly being evaded. The monastery is festooned with crosses, and the whole reason the monks are there at all is to bring Christianity to the people. (This is clearly and unambiguously the motive of the abbot of the monastery.) That all of this Christianity *doesn't* come across as heavy-handed is because the monks are presented as motivated by genuine and abiding concern for the peasantry they're trying to reach; it's actually one of the more humane representations of Christianity I've seen. Tumulo de Jesus Cristo na india. A belief that Jesus survived the crucifixion and spent his remaining years in Kashmir has led to a run-down shrine in Srinagar making it firmly onto the must-visit-in India tourist trail.
In the backstreets of downtown Srinagar is an old building known as the Rozabal shrine. It's in a part of the city where the Indian security forces are on regular patrol, or peering out from behind check-posts made of sandbags. There are still occasional clashes with militants or stone-throwing children, but the security situation has improved in recent times and the tourists are returning. When I first searched for Rozabal two years ago, the taxi circled around a minor Muslim tomb in a city of many mosques and mausoleums, the driver asking directions several times before we found it.
