"FWIW, my opinion is that Urth is presented as less spiritually 
advanced than Earth, notably lacking two important earthly 
spiritual events, The Flood and the Coming of Jesus. Thus, 
Severian has his roles to play. The Urth we are reading about 
is much older than our current Earth but being stunted in its 
spiritual growth is still troubled by some of the ills which 
plagued our pagan ancestors."

The Book of the Long Sun is set in the same universe, and in it Silk has a vision of a hero riding into a city, greeted by supporters waving fan-shaped leaves.  (I can't remember the page offhand.)  Surely this represents Palm Sunday, suggesting that Jesus existed in this universe?
