I switched the lily-white picture of Jesus on my aunt's phone to the one below. It's an icon from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. If you're going to worship Jesus don't be a sap about it! Then my other aunt pipes up with All the Muslims who have seen Jesus saw him looking like this (the white one)! Luckily my cousin said No one wants to hear that! She's good about shutting her mother down. Just a silly little story about my family.
The book of fable's says mythical Jesus was jewish.western civilizations perceived him with blind hair and blue eyes.African Americans as black. I've even seen Japanese Jesus and Eskimo Jesus.But the one that really crack's me up is Elvis Jesus down in the Bible belt complete with long sideburns, now that's amusing.Depending what your ethnic is, that's how you depict this man made mythical individual.
@CraigInCbus no long sideburns but halirious none the less?
Brilliant! That absurd blue-eyed Caucasian Jesus is an insult to anyone’s intelligence. Clever hype though by the Vatican all those years ago I suspected. I don’t know how far back it goes but I know Giotto’s Jesus was white. Probably a propaganda drive after the split between East and West.
OMG a Jesus freak dog friend of mine posted that year in seriousness.
I was crestfallen.
Good for you! I'm a firm believer in being truthful, and Jesus wasn't a blond haired blue eyed dude!!!!
