I dunno, I’d bet my next house payment that she didn’t look Korean.
She was a Middle-Eastern Jewish girl. They can be very beautiful. And she looked exactly like a feminine version of her Son, since He got all His human DNA from her.

Thank you. And thanks to Msgr Pope.
She looks like you AND she is far more beautiful than you could ever imagine, because God means YOU to be far more beautiful than you could ever imagine.

The Virgin of Guadalupe cape shows Mary's face quite clearly. It was, apparently, how God wanted her face manifested to the Mexicans.
Juan Diego's cape still exists and still has its vibrant colors. There have been, however, zillions of photographs of that cape and Our Blessed Mother's face.
Is it how Mary REALLY looked 2000 years ago? Apparently it either IS or it DOESN'T matter since we all get to see her differently.

The Shroud of Turin shows the face of Our Lord. The coloring can't show but His face, beard, head, hands, feet, wounds...all there.
Mary's features are in there somewhere.

Jesus is our brother (and Lord), he looks like us. I beg to differ. We look like Him ... however imperfectly. We were created in the image and likeness of God. Our sins may warp, distort, and obscure that image but it is there in spite of all that.

We have the National Shrine in D.C. which honors Mary under so many titles.

St. Luke painted her portrait, so we know. Look at any canonical icon of Our Lady.
Orthodox icons are portraits, and the facial features on them do not change. A Catholic should now that.

I’d like to start a collection of prints, paintings, etc of Mary and Jesus in all different ethnicities. The cover of the Music Issue in our Parish a couple of years ago had a lovely print of a Korean Madonna and Baby Jesus. That’s what got me looking for other nationalities, and I’ve seen some beautiful ones.
