Walking on water is at times used as an example of an impossible task. The phrase is widely used to refer to the performance of extraordinary tasks, as in the titles of books that aim to show individuals how to break through their personal limitations and achieve dramatic success. There are reports of miraculous acts of walking on water in several religions, such as in Buddhist texts, some Hindu stories, the Huang-Po story, the stories of Orion, the ''Aeneid'' and some Native American myths,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Mythology of the Constellations: Orion )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Walking On Water )〕 in addition to the accounts of Jesus walking on water in the New Testament. Islamic belief also includes accounts of Jesus walking on water. Leonardo da Vinci, in the Codex Atlanticus manuscripts, sketched designs for floats to allow a man to walk on water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Studies - Floats for walking on water )〕 On 25 June 2011, English illusionist Steve Frayne reportedly walked across the Thames River, while "()rowds lining London’s Westminster Bridge gasped as he strode from the Thames shore and carried on across the surface of the choppy river towards the Houses of Parliament, with every step filmed for his new TV series." == See also == * Animal locomotion on the water surface 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walking on water」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
