One morning, Saint Issa, a 13-year-old Jewish mystic boy, made the fateful decision to leave home and set off by foot along the ancient silk trade route to India. His goal was to explore the eternal truths arrived at by the holy men of the far East.

Along his nearly one-year journey across expansive desserts and fertile countrysides, the young saint performed miraculous healings of the sick and taught everyone he met to look within to find the perennial truths of existence.
