hey pass that "holy water" around , hehe.

This year almost 20+million people gathered
at the River Ganges to wash and cleanse away past
Sins....

The largest gathering of humans ever known to
have assembled in one place for
spiritual purposes...in India.

They were also doing this 2 1/2 centuries before
John the Baptist , and were some of
the largest gatherings of people known at
that time to assemble in one place for religious
purposes. It was of great curiosity to the
Greek and Romans, and others in the Middle East
that heard of these mass "Baptizing rituals...

* interesting to note , this is the very ceremony
that is used to reveal to Jesus his true
spiritual body and start him on his way,
by the river Jordan 2 1/2
centuries later...

just another co-incidence i suppose....
