Why does Salt Lake Jesus look like he flew in from Scandinavia? I thought the legend had him being born in the middle east.
Years ago, during my first visit to a Mormon Temple (the visitors center as I am an unclean Catholic unworthy of entrance into their Star Chamber), I was struck by one thing: how white Jesus Christ looked in all of their depictions.
Of course, this is from the church that until about 50 years ago, refused black people entry because they bore the mark of Satan (their skin color).
