| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1172308 Canada12/10/2010 07:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The great-grandmother of Jesus was a woman named Ismeria, according to Florentine medieval manuscripts analyzed by a historian" This is the problem with organized religion. I'm all for belief in a higher power, but to base your belief system on a religion that uses things like this to prove itself genuine is ridiculous. So, some historian (Christian, naturally), says that some MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS show that Jesus' grandmother was this Ismeria person. Now, the term "manuscript" today means a STORY that has been written for stage, tv, or film. I guess back then it meant "world history that is undeniable because some dude claims it is and it ends up on discovery news". This whole thing is a massive FAIL. Even more so than the shroud of turin. |
| Arcane Shift User ID: 1190600 United States12/10/2010 07:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to news.discovery.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 773473THE GIST * According to medieval manuscripts, the great-grandmother of Jesus was St. Ismeria. * The legend of St. Ismeria emphasizes sanctity earned by a life of penitence as opposed to blood martyrdom. * St. Ismeria likely served as a role model for older women during the 14th and 15th centuries. The legend of St. Ismeria marks a shift in belief, as sanctity was previously more often earned by blood martyrdom rather than piety. Click to enlarge this image. The great-grandmother of Jesus was a woman named Ismeria, according to Florentine medieval manuscripts analyzed by a historian. The legend of St. Ismeria, presented in the current Journal of Medieval History, sheds light on both the Biblical Virgin Mary's family and also on religious and cultural values of 14th-century Florence...... ........ So something in a manuscript written 1400 years after the death of Jesus portrays a Saint as Jesus Great Grandmother as being valid, highly doubtful I think. |

Gotta wonder how much the church pays to have these "news" stories put out there by legit organizations like Discovery. |
