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.

Back in the '70's I sent Xmas cards with a black Jesus on the front. My mother was aghast. I was aghast at my mother. Still am.

The whole topic is so dodgy that you don't even want to go there, maybe get her a sign instead.

Have you tried this one?

OMG a Jesus freak dog friend of mine posted that year in seriousness.
I was crestfallen.

If such a person existed, this is probably closer to what he might have looked like.

@Closeted That's for sure

Seriously if you really want to make her flip shit then point out that per the Bible’s own description this is the face of Jesus

Good for you! I'm a firm believer in being truthful, and Jesus wasn't a blond haired blue eyed dude!!!!

Next time swap in Jared Leto. He might be divine as he is NOT aging.

@Closeted The guy can't even guess his own age.

He is soooo pretty. Ha a pic I saved for future reference, with the intent of making some jesus meme.

Mythical characters can look just about anyway one can imagine.
