Mary was a Jew. She and Joseph were able to hide out in Egypt for a while. She was probably olive skinned or even dark skinned. Remember the Jews were enslaved in Egypt for hundreds of years and there had to be some intermingling then. She probably looked like a typical middle-eastern young lady. Why do white people want to picture all of the events in the bible, which take place in the middle east and North Africa and Israel , as having a bunch of white Europeans running around. That is the silliest thing I've ever heard of.

Descriptions from where? If it ain't in the bible, we have to go on logic. She looked Semetic like all the peoples around her. Dark hair, dark eyes, olive skin!
