The first master of death ?
I was talking alternative takes on christianity in fiction with a friend, mostly revolving around VtM's twist on the figure of Caine and the many re-interpratations of the apostles as the antedeluvians and so on... When the subject shifted to the Wizzarding world, an intriguing idea came to me and bear with me : Jesus was the first master of Death and presents ressemblances to the only other one we know of.
His birth was prophesied by three magi, each of whom brought him a gift (understand here one of the three hallows).
In the gospel of pseudo Matthew (declared apocryphal to reduce suspicions from muggles) an infant Jesus tamed dragons by speaking with them. Now, in latin (and even more importantly greek) dragons are not the flying fire-breathing lizards we know and love but additional keepers/denizens of the limits of the underworld (best puppy Cerberus can't be everywhere) and thus would be assumed to be... large serpents. Jesus speaks parsletongue.
The many miracles are now easily explained with simple transmutation and multiplication spells.
Judas didn't want the Romans' gold, he wanted the elder wand.
Jesus rose from the dead because he had the stone with him.
We can't find him nor the holly shroud because it's our beloved cloak of invisibility.
Yeah, no that's all. I do have additional thoughts but I'll take some time to properly sort them first.
