How swarthy is pure conjecture...I tend to think Med peoples were less swarthy in antiquity than now and depending on who’s writing it...research bears that out...how much less swarthy who knows

The Fayum Portraits (same time period, about first century BC/first century AD) can probably give us a good idea of what people in the area looked like then.

These were "realistic" funerary portraits of people.

RE:”Most white kids get scared when they see the big white Santa! LOL!”

Then you can imagine how scared many little black kids could be seeing him.

Maybe the only white man they ever saw in real life was the landlord.

They would be more comfortable with a Santa who looked like Rev Al Sharpton in a beard.

I love Megyn babe but this is a subject more suited to the trivality on Fox and Friends.

For all the snarky replies, if would seem that some knew Him personally. You would have thought I had indicated Mongolian :D (again, if one cannot tell that/this was SARCASM)

Since I don’t know, I based by quip upon the current regional demographics and occupation. As you state: thin, olive complexion (or a NICE tan), darker cut hair (could you imagine the grooming for that hippie look?!) and scruffy (beard/’stache). Hell, I’d even so far as to take Him all the way black (ala Sammy Davis Junior) [again SARCASM].

People just need to back up and chill-out with the knee-jerks. You’d think it was a personal affront about their immediate family (oh, here it comes again)

Technically, Jesus WAS Asian. What continent is Israel on?

The Semites are Caucasian. Doesn't matter which continent they happen to be on.

Everytime I see Megyn Kelly, I get the song "Dirty Laundry" stuck in my head:
..See the bubble-headed bleach blonde, comes on at five...

There’s no actual description of Jesus, but I think he would have looked like your average Middle Eastern fellow in his late 20s to early 30s that you’d see nowadays.

Well, obviously. If he looked like as white as the traditional pictures, the arresting centurion wouldn't have needed Judas to finger him -- he would have stood out like a sore thumb.

St nick was from Turkey.

Calling Asia Minor "Turkey" is an anachronism, though -- the Turks didn't show up until centuries later.

Ok...geographically, he was from the area we now know as Turkey.

Why is there one of Obama in there? Some of these might not be so "ancient." Unless he really was Satan as depicted in the Bible mini-series...

I noticed the “modern” portraits in there. Some art school students having fun. :)
