MUSSOORIE, 5 Apr: The Christian Community here gathered in large numbers at the Central Methodist Church to celebrate Palm Sunday, an auspicious day in the Christian calendar. It is the Sunday before Easter and the first day of the Holy Week commemorating Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, when the crowd strewed palm leaves in his path.
The Church Pastor, Chaman Comfort, delivered the service in which he highlighted the importance of the day. He explained that Palm Sunday was the last day of celebration for Christians before recalling the sadness of the events of the rest of the week. The pastor also said that in Israel, Christians carry palm leaves from Bethphage, on the road to Jericho, to Jerusalem, to recreate the path taken by Jesus. The pastor also read the passionate narrative on Palm Sunday, reminding Christians that Jesus went to Jerusalem to face suffering, a trial, and death. for details go to:http://www.garhwalpost.com/index.php?mod=article&cat=Uttarakhand&article=171

Many say Jesus did not die but fled to India, where he lived out his days with the Indo peoples according to ancient texts in India, seems plausiable to me.
