When the Chinese draw pictures of Jesus, he looks Chinese. I suppose when the Irish draw pictures of Jesus, He has red hair. Maybe Jesus appears to us as what we identify with. But I think Jesus is pure beauty like we have never seen. Time will tell.

Sam’s Club used to sell the most beautiful Manger sets at Christmas — incrdibly detailed and dressed in “silk” robes. (I have one from several years ago.) The sets were different evey year, but they always came in 2 versions — black figures or white figures. The “white” set had one of the kings who was black, but the black set was all black (I think). The faces were the same — just the skin a different tone and the hair diffeent. Actually I liked the black version better because the colors had a little more depth, but I thought that the grandchildren wouldn’t understand.

The set I have is in a desert scene with a stone manger that looks like a ruined building and palm trees. It’s beautiful.
