Christ Almighty!

I’ve often wondered why almost all painters depict JC as a white man, when his parents (well at least his mother) were dark-skinned middle-eastern folks. Did they know something we today don’t know? By golly, perhaps he was an albino?
On the other hand, probably European artists didn’t feel comfortable worshiping a god who had brown skin.
Of course, no one knows exactly how Jesus actually appeared, one guess is as good as another, so we shouldn’t quibble at the propensity of artists to portray JC as appearing like a member of their own race.
