"Blonde Jesus", so this image I found on the web is labeled. But, the hair color looks reddish, not blonde! Strange, because red hair is usually associated with Judas, and so with traitors. Also, red hair is associated with clowns. Blond and brown hair are usually associated with Jesus. Just as Orientals and Africans may prefer an image of Jesus which looks like an attractive Oriental or African man, with black hair, so Europeans may prefer an image of Jesus that looks like an attractive European man, with blond or light brown hair. This gingery fellow is a rather strange looking Aryan Jesus, I wonder who painted it?
