@shortstories @vic @Indignation Okay; I’ve never personally regarded that correspondence as authentic, but it’s never really had any bearing on the existing ancient Orthodox Iconographic Tradition, or the appearance of modern Levantine people’s as featured above. The combination of these legitimate factors makes it abundantly apparent that 1) we’ve got a decent idea of what Our Lord looks like; 2) it’s not at all how mainstream media sources would like us to believe; and 3) He will be quite obvious on the Great and Terrible Day of His Return in Glory.
