Apparently the author lives in a alternate universe where AME churches routinely used to buy used portraits of Jesus imported from Lutheran churches in Norway.

That would be the universe where the Catholic National Shrine to the Immaculate Conception is...

At least he's not imaged as a Nordic blonde. I don't know, that could be an image of a son of David, " He was ruddy, a youth handsome to behold and making a splendid appearance."

Your post is the very definition of a non-sequitur.

The mural of Jesus in the basilica does not depict him as either blonde-haired or blue-eyed.

The mural is not imported.

The mural is not affiliated with either the Lutheran Church of Norway nor the AME.

What exactly were you trying to say?

Will be there in January as usual.
