In this rendition, Jesus's visage radiates with a divine aura, his eyes ablaze with wisdom and compassion, echoing the flame of fire described in scripture. His hair, white as wool, cascades around his head like a halo, a symbol of purity and transcendence.
But it's his skin, rich in melanin, that speaks volumes. It tells a story of inclusivity and affirmation, reminding viewers of the diverse tapestry of humanity embraced by the divine. His feet, burnished bronze, ground him firmly in earthly existence while hinting at the transformative power of his message.
