JESUS´FACE!!!

Now, an interesting article whose author is Joan!!! Let us know your opinion!!! BFN.

Jesus’ face

How Jesus’ face was? How did Jesus look like? This question has been asked by many people during centuries: painters, sculptors, arquitects, philosophers… and specially theologians. Actually, we are used to see a long-haired white man with bright eyes, but this is not exact. I’ve just read an interesting article (I recommend it to you, here) about a research on this topic.

According to Carlos F. Cardoza-Orlandi, the main investigator in this project, in the 1Corinthians epistole Paul wrote: “If a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him”. This sentence proves that Jesus could not have been long-haired, since this looking was not well-considered in that culture. In addition to this, in Saint Mathew Gospel, we can read the famous Judas’ kiss, because Jesus looked like any other semitic man.

                That’s why Cardoza-Orlandi, associate professor of world Christianity at Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta (USA), gathered several skulls from Israel, dated as Ist Century A.C., and with advanced computer-scanning techniques, he got this face as the most probable: short with tight curls and bear, dark hair and eyes, and this face shape. Jesus’ height could be 1,55 meters, and Jesus’ weight 55 kg, although being a carpenter maybe more.

                If you are interested in this research, I encourage you to read the whole article. It’s fascinating!
