India's new Bible wears a bindi
When Mary and Joseph discovered a power-hungry king was hunting their son Jesus Christ, they escaped to the safety of Egypt. But before Christianity's first family fled, barefoot Mary slipped into a sari and put a bindi on her forehead, while Joseph tied tight his long loincloth and turban.
At least, that's how their flight is illustrated in a Bible produced for Indians.
"Conversion is a human right," he says, fiddling with a large crucifix around his neck.
"We cannot refuse to others our beautiful way of life."
