New exhibition examines bizarre bible syndrome -10/01/05

A bizarre mental syndrome that has seen scores of visitors to Jerusalem become convinced they are characters from the Bible is the subject of a new art exhibition, reports the Scotsman. The subject of the new exhibition by artist Nathan Coley is Jerusalem Syndrome
, a psychosis affecting people obsessed by the city who start to preach and behave as biblical characters, from King David to John the Baptist, the Virgin Mary and Jesus himself.
