So"Neo" is an annagram for "one" moreover in greek "Neo" means "new" indicating a New Creation into which Neo enters. I guess that is why the Matrix was released on the Easter weekend.Neo found it very hard to identify himeself as the One. Neo's path has many ties with the Jesus story, including a virgin birth. In the scene where he is rescued from the Matrix, Neo awakens to find himself in a womb like vat, is unplugged from the umblical cord like cables, and slides down a tube symbolizing the birth canal. As humans in the Matrix are grown, neos arrival is virgin unplugged in a machine dominated world. Neo is also baptised by Morpheus ina human battery refuse tank and Just as Jesus was tempted for 40 days so is Neo tempted by agents to betray Morpheus. Just as Jesus gave His life to save the many so did Neo knowingly give his life to save Morpheus.

Just as Jesus posessed remarkable powers in his resurrection body from death and could pass through walls, so did Neo after his death posses a glorified body that had remarkable powers. Zion is the last human city that Neo defends, the final hope of mankind.
