Because you’re in a European-style church, yo. Christian art depeicts Jesus and the other Biblical figures as whatever the race of the artist/region is. Don’t believe me?

Here’s a Chinese painting of the Baptism of Christ:

Here is a Native American painting of the Nativity:

Here’s a painting of Jesus giving a sermon by a Kenyan artist:

And, lastly, here’s a European painting of Jesus healing the blind:

If you live in a country or region where the culture is primarily European, expect to have that reflected in the art you see.

I love this post.

Can confirm. Here in Japan, churches are full of Asian Jesus’.

Korean Jesus

There’s a joke here about the Swoly Spirit but I don’t feel like being struck by lightn

Ethiopian depiction of Jesus Christ

Byzantine depiction of Jesus Christ in Constantinople (now modern day Istanbul, Turkey)

gonna insert my professional black opinion here and say none of you have stepped foot inside of a black baptist church were white jesus is hanging up on the wall and it shows. you all broke your necks to give these examples and did not think of the nuances of this statement coming from a black american woman. the context behind this statement has to do with the imagery of a white savior (who we know isn’t white) in religious spaces where black people congregate. this imagery was used during slavery. our blackness was equated to ‘darkness’ and ‘evil’ and the only way for us to be ‘absolved’ of our inherently ‘evil’ nature was by stripping us of our ancestral practices and forcing us to repent to and obey a great white savior. the image of jesus and angels as white didn’t go away after slavery “ended” in 1865 either. its still veeeery prevalent and a direct product of slavery in america.
