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.

Over at the National Shrine, Mary under the different titles have so many different looks.

I have that print on the wall. The skin tones are a bit darker. But even in this view, the Virgin isn’t blonde.

This is a wonderful testimony. I’ve sent it to all in my family. Thanks...

And she looked exactly like a feminine version of her Son, since He got all His human DNA from her. You both make valid points which naturally raises the question ... who did Adam resemble ;-)

Unwarranted assumption.

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.

I thought the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe looked like a Mexican princess, the better to evangelize the Mestizos.
