Jesus in China .

Recommended Posts

Nah , just having a bit of fun , but I find the art work interesting ; the  Chinese style of art depicting well known Christian subjects seems an interesting contrast .

Jesus in China is rather orthodox, aside from being Chinese.  But Andean Jesus and his apostles drink ayahuasca at the Last Supper, and His angels carry muskets.

Interesting, exactly one year ago I was at the Notre-Dame of Paris where these paintings were being displayed. Some Chinese nuns were feeling quite moved by them.
