Apostle Paul in a tiny little chuch in Mykonos, Greece
It makes so much sense to me, to visit the Mediterranean region of the world, and see such paintings as is shown below. It also makes me wonder why this kind of history is changed to show the Jesus, apostles and many others who would most likely be people of darker skin, as white people. Many folks say it doesn't matter... but the fact is, it does... a lot! It feeds in a very indidious way, a sense of superiority that is skewed by corrupting history. I can only hope that more truths are exposed and our learning be corrected.. because 'the truth can set us free'! (Thank Chance for suggesting that I post this picture in the name of Black History Month) There's this little, tiny church as soon as the Tender dropped us off at the dock. The ship is too big to pull in, so we had to ride a Tender, to shore. In the church were paintings and this one was of St. Paul, the apostle.
