Blonde Hair Blue Eyed Jesus
Why is jesus portrayed as blue eyed and blonde.
Blonde hair blue eyed jesus. The problem with the blue eyed jesus with blonde hair. This is part of what it means. Now the golden hair and the blue eyes that presents a major problem as such traits would be an anomaly to the region thus are contrivances of those who wished to create jesus in their own image. Why is it that illustrations always show him with blond hair and blue eyes and how did he really look.
It was considered shameful for men to have long hair by jews in biblical times unless under a nazarene vow like samson which jesus was not under. They don t look anything like how jesus is portrayed in the media. This is unavoidable for if jesus is our friend our lord our savior and if he is alive in our heart we cannot but create an image of him that is familiar to us. If david had red hair and esau had red hair jacob s brother i see no reason why jesus might not also have red or reddish hair.
No guarantees but possibility. Also his hair was probably short. Lately i heard that as an inhabitant of ancient israel it is more likely that jesus had dark skin and probably had hair that was a little curly. Jesus christ was born in bethlehem.
He was not a hippie like many movies make him out to be. But this is not how the jews of ancient palestine appeared and the caucasian blue eyed surfer jesus is a fanciful fabrication. Why is jesus portrayed as blue eyed and blonde. If there are a few jews that have blonde hair and blue eyes then i suppose it is a possibility but very doubtful.
Still don t know about eye color thoough. I will show you that jesus had blonde hair and blue eyes as the bible describes him. Unfortunately there is a typical representation of jesus as a blonde haired blue eyed surfer type person with a perfect complexion and a gentle appearance. Why has the portrayal of jesus as a white man not changed over years.
I know a lot of people from that region.
