Jesus probably looked like an Arab with medium dark skin.

[Just mythoughts]

I have no recollection of the Catholic in-laws ever referencing the ‘key of David’... the slumber continues.

[Salvavida]

I don’t see anywhere in the Gospels or any of the other New Testament letters where this was important.

But people want to be stuck on stupid.

[Brilliant]

What is the controversy? Who cares if he had dark skin?

[Sacajaweau]

i see it as egyptian color...not african

The window was commissioned by a Mary P. Carr in honor of two women, apparently her late aunts, ...both married into families involved in the slave trade.

If the sisters had married into a samurai family and commissioned an artist to have Jesus look Japanese would we be having this discussion?

If one is obsessed with how Jesus appeared we know this from Isaiah 53 and hue of skin isn’t mentioned...

He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

[Sacajaweau]

read the organization these two women support...wants blacks to go back to africa...

[frogjerk]

I guess they have never seen the numerous Black Madonna and Child icons, statues, etc...

AP trying to cause a controversy where none exists.

Donated honor of her aunts.

Reminds of the funny bit in The Bishop’s Wife where the acerbic donor insists that St. George be portayed in the likeness of her late husband and David Niven asms, “And who should the dragon resemble?”

This very famous, highly venerated image was reputed to have been painted by St. Luke. It has been in Poland for 600 years. The people of Poland have had no issue with the dark skin tone of Our Lady or Our Lord in it.

Our Lady of Czestochowa

I don’t care what skin tone Jesus has. He is my Savior.

[Sacajaweau]

sounds like the ladies had some big bucks...assuming they are black....seems to say they want them back in africa

[Rurudyne]

Did you know it was considered punishable by death to even say Mohammad, the Devil’s “prophet”, was black?

[higgmeister]

The window installed at the long-closed St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Warren in 1878 is the oldest known public example of stained glass on which Christ is depicted as a person of color that one expert has seen.

That one expert is a stupid fool for making himself an expert in baseless futility.

[newfreep]

Olive skin color from being “born” in Israel

Another example of blacks trying to own a culture other than their own failed cult of violent feral animals.

[sit-rep]

the fact alone that the picture doesnt have boot lips should be enough...

[sasquatch]

Wash the windows and get back to me.

...founded to support the migration of freed slaves to Liberia in Africa.

Oh, my lord! This is outrageous! Support for a back to Africa movement! We need to immediately rename schools and streets named for Marcus Garvey to something decent! Like George Floyd, or St. Skittles or even Fentanyl!
