I actually got it for my daughters because the artwork is really high quality. For the record, I will point out that St. John of Damascus said that Jesus had blond hair and green or blue eyes, and he was writing in the Near East in the Fifth Century AD. His account is cited by Borromeo in De Pictura Sacra when setting out proper standards for depicting various Biblical figures.

I didn't eat a turkey for Thanksgiving until my 20s. Growing up it was either goose or duck. The Shrike - 21/11/2017 05:24:35 PM 635 Views
