The human imagination can do wonders when it comes to drawing mental images of what we read in various texts. We are so arranged that we often embellish objects and people in our imagination, when we do not know how they really look. Jesus Christ is one of the most famous characters in the entire history of human history, but only descriptions of this person have survived to this day. do not really match the real appearance of Christ.
Although, for the sake of justice, it is worth noting that the Holy Scripture practically does not give us an idea of the appearance of our Lord's son, therefore, the flight of people's imagination drew in their heads the image of a kind of European with the correct facial features, but Christ was a Jew, which means that he looked different. than in our imagination. The description of Matthew also does not describe the appearance of Jesus:
“And before the eyes of the disciples, suddenly His appearance changed: His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white like light.” Gospel of Matthew 17: 2
It turns out that there is absolutely no specifics, so scientists became interested in this issue and showed the real appearance of the savior of mankind. It is clear that people considered Christ the most beautiful person in the world, but at that distant time, other canons of beauty were adopted. Each nation represents the appearance of the son of the Lord in its own way, and in these representations, his appearance is similar to their features. He may be Asian, European or South American, but very rarely Christ is presented as the typical Jew, which he really is. If we turn to John the Evangelist, he said the following about Jesus:
"His head and hair were as white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like blazing fire, and His legs were like shining metal, red-hot in a furnace, and His voice was like the thunder of a waterfall. He has seven stars in His right hand. And from His mouth a double-edged sword comes forth. His whole form is like a scorching sun at its zenith. "Revelation 14:16
Again, no specifics. The new simulated image of Christ is based on the method of American scientists and NASA technology. But the most important role was played by the Shroud of Turin. This is a piece of cloth or a burial veil, in which, according to numerous versions, the body of Christ was wrapped, and his face was miraculously imprinted on the shroud. "The Shroud" is a special burial veil with which Jesus was covered. On it were some prints from the body, blood and face of Christ himself. Today, more than 70 facts have been officially confirmed that prove the authenticity of the artifact. Christ's height was about 183 centimeters, and his weight was about 80 kilograms. His face was rounded, had a beard, and his body was covered with a tan. People often imagine Christ with thick and curly hair, but his hair was short and without curls, which is what one of the most famous characters in our history looked like. However, scientists note that even modern equipment is not able to simulate the appearance by 100 percent, and for a more accurate result, a body would be needed.
