What was the influence of Buddhism on the preacher from Galilee? The lost years refers to the time in Jesus's life between his childhood and the beginning of his ministry, a period not described in the Gospels. Following the New Testament accounts of Jesus' young life, there is a gap of about 18 years in his story. The best known and most popular explanation for the Nazarene's hidden years, is by far, his supposed travels to India, Tibet and surrounding areas where he encountered Hinduism and the teachings of the Buddha. But is this story true? Ee110.

An 84-year-old woman who was a pious fixture in Jerusalem, never left the temple, worshiping there day and night, fasting and praying. According to the Gospel of Luke, the Prophetess Anna appears during the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, celebrated on February 2nd, marks 40 days after Christmas, commemorating when Mary and Joseph presented the baby Jesus at the Jerusalem Temple, fulfilling Jewish Mosaic Law for consecration of firstborn sons and the mother's purification, and featuring the aged Anna and the prophet Simeon recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and Light of the World, based on the Gospel of Luke 2:22-40. Also called Candlemas or Hypapante (Eastern Orthodoxy) or The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this feast day involves blessing candles symbolizing Christ as light. Ee70

Not long after the birth of Jesus, Joseph and Mary adhered to three Jewish ceremonies: Circumcision, performed on the eighth day, for all male children; Purification from childbirth for Mary, 40 days after her son's birth; and Consecration of the firstborn in the Temple, in recognition that the firstborn son belongs to the Lord. The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, celebrated on February 2nd, marks 40 days after Christmas, commemorating when Mary and Joseph presented the baby Jesus at the Jerusalem Temple, fulfilling Jewish Mosaic Law for consecration of firstborn sons and the mother's purification, and featuring the aged Anna and the prophet Simeon recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and Light of the World, based on the Gospel of Luke 2:22-40. Also called Candlemas or Hypapante (Eastern Orthodoxy) or The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this feast day involves blessing candles symbolizing Christ as light. Ee68.

Still searching for the Northwest Passage while on his final expedition in 1611, Henry Hudson (1565 –1611 lost at sea) became the first European to see the Hudson Strait and the immense Hudson Bay in Northern Canada, but then suddenly, most of his crew mutinied. Why? He was one of the greatest explorers of the New World, with several geographical locations named for him. Unfortunately, Hudson, along with seven of his crew and his son, were left for dead on a boat in Hudson Bay after his crew mutinied against him. What happened after his ship The Discovery lost sight of him? Was he murdered? Did he become part of an Indigenous tribe? Was he held captive? Let’s take a detailed look at the possible fates of Henry Hudson.
