SECOND COMING: ‘I’m the reincarnation of Jesus’
AT LEAST seven men around the world claim to be Jesus Christ reincarnated, and many have a following of devoted believers.
From a retired Siberian traffic cop named Vissarion to a cross-dressing former British spy David Shayler - these men all claim to be the son of God.
Jesus of Kitwe, Zambia, the taxi driver who was originally beaten by townsfolk for claiming to be Jesus, now says he is even more senior to Jesus in the hierarchy in heaven.
Near Brazil's capital, former waiter Inri Cristo gets around in a white robe topped off with a plaited white crown.
His devoted female disciples, who live with him in a small compound behind an electrified fence, push him around on a fringed red satin platform on wheels.
Norwegian photographer Jonas Bendiksen has travelled the world photographing these different Jesuses in England, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Zambia, Japan and the Philippines.
He has captured Jesus Matayoshi of Japan, a former politician, standing atop a mini-van amid Tokyo's commercial heart calmly spreading his Gospel.
