Chrisitain Nativity in Cymbeline?

I've been prodding around some extra-textual criticism on Cymbeline and I've found an amount of critics claiming a fabric of Christianity, specifically Christ's becoming in  Cymbeline. I, however cannot place this in the text itself. Perhaps Mary is  found in the symbolic image of Imogen in some form of purity, and the manifestation of a God figure is intriguing, but aside from these few weak connections I find this rather unmanifested. So I pose a question to the class, and perhaps it is irrelevant and futile, but do any of you see this theory materializing in Cymbeline? does this have any base?

-just a small point of interjection, but I'm just stuck on this point.
