The many faces of Jesus

I’m sure all of us have seen that lovely picture of Jesus as he is praying in the Garden with knees bent and hands folded like a good little Sunday School kid. He has blond hair flowing like Fabio, blue eyes as cold as steel, and peach-tone skin. Knowing that Jesus was from Jerusalem and not Scandinavia inspired me to see what other cultures have depicted Jesus as looking like. So view all 40 or so of them, enjoy, and comment what you think and which one is your favorite.
