The crucifixion and resurrection story was an ancient and oft-repeated story, even before Jesus was born. An idol of the crucified Zoroaster or Mithras or Odin or Osiris could have been displayed.
Well in return for Myrrh (a corpse blaming ointment - sfortelling Jesus’ death) the 24 Magi got the swaddling cloth which turned into the source of the eternal flame in Zoroastrianism.
Dude, Jebus was literally just born and there's a crucifix of him dead on a cross hanging right above him. That's the mother of all spoilers right there!😜
So many white people in Bethlehem… I didn’t know Jesus and his mom were that white until I left the holy lands and visited European museums 😂…The obsession with making that poor kid and his mom white to feed white supremacist egos is just sickening. Get over it. He had dark hair and olive skin.
would the painting have had that dark of paint at the top originally or is that an effect of aging? It might be a much nicer painting without the gradient... or worse I can't really tell
