JESUS WAS BORN DARK

A Child Is Born 
by James Loveless, Jr.

"... more believable an image. No way a white Mary and son could have hidden in Egypt and not been the subject of talk and speculation. They couldn't have hid anywhere being white as sheets. Anyway the Hebrew tradition forbade them from marrying outsiders so the traditional image of a white Mary and Jesus with the wind is gone."

- Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

  1. For me the saddest thing is going into a community of color and seeing the white image still hanging. Sometimes it amazes me how people will not ask question nor look into the ideas that they receive from their surroundings
