13 years ago we adopted my sister from china. My grandma just told us that before my parents brought her back she opened up this painting and made one of the children asian. (also darkened jesus to be more authenticity middle eastern)

I do not expect ppl to be educated, I am aware ppl are largely uneducated or badly-educated.?It’s not so much people not knowing middle eastern history but they’re basically saying there’s no such thing when they extrapolate the cultural and ethnic lines of the region today back as far as the time of Jesus when it was dominated not by Arabs but by Romans and before them by Persians and before them by Babylonians and before them by Akkadians and before them by Sumerians ..

It’s like finding a skeleton in Idaho and saying it must be of a white American guy when the bones are 2,000 years old, there were no white American guys in Idaho
