Happy Easter

From the Moorish Orthodox list:


HOLY KORAN XIX:11-21

11 And Jesus said, "Behold, for I am risen from the dead. Look at my hands, my feet, my side.

12 The Roman soldiers pierced my hands and feet with nails; and then one pierced my heart.

13 They put me in a tomb, and then I wrestled with the conqueror of men. I conquered death, I stamped upon him and arose;

14 Brought immortality to light and painted on the walls of time a rainbow for the sons of men; and what I did all men shall do.

15 This gospel of the resurrection of the dead is not confined to Jew and Greek; it is the heritage of every man of every time and
clime; and I am here a demonstration of the power of man."

16 Then he arose and pressed the hand of every man and of the royal host, and said,

17 "Behold, I am not myth made of the fleeting winds, for I am flesh and bone and brawn; but I can cross the borderland at will."

18 And then they talked together there a long, long time. The Jesus said,

19 "I go my way, but you shall go to all the world and preach the gospel of the omnipotence of men, the power of truth, the
resurrection of the dead;

20 He who believes this gospel of the son of man shall never die; the dead shall live again."

21 Then Jesus disappeared, but he had sown the seed. The words of life were spoken in Orissa, and all of India heard.
