Is the body of John the Baptist ... inside a mosque?
According to the description of the picture he is
10 to 1, the Mosque began life as a Church.
Several different locations claim to possess the severed head of John the Baptist.
Muslim tradition maintains that the head of John the Baptist is interred in the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus.
In medieval times it was rumored that the Knights Templar had possession of the head, and multiple records from their Inquisition in the early 1300s make reference to some form of head worship.
Some Christians believe that the head on display in San Silvestro in Capite in Rome is that of John the Baptist.
Some believe that it is buried in the town of Halifax, West Yorkshire, England.[4] Others believe the current location to be in Turkish Antioch, or southern France.
John's right hand, with which he baptised Jesus, is said to be in the possession of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Cetinje monastery.
The relics of John the Baptist are also said to be in the possession of the Coptic Orthodox Monastery of Saint Macarius the Great in Scetes, Egypt.
It is said John the Baptist's arm and piece of his skull can be found at the Topkapı Palace in Istanbul, Turkey.
John's remains seem to have turned up just about everywhere but the Priory of Sion.
“Is the body of John the Baptist ... inside a mosque?”
I would expect his tomb to be in the hands of orthodox or catholic?
What’s the whole story here?
I personally would make the sign of the cross there too.
According to some Muslims John the Baptist was really a messanger for Islam as Jews never really existed.
It’s an old Muslim tradition, grabbing ahold of infidels and keeping them.
That’s what I want to know.
John the Baptist was a Muslim . . you didn’t know that? :)
