WHY IS JESUS PORTRAYED AS  WHITE ?

TWIFE WANTS TO CHANGE THE PERCEPTION OF  LEADERSHIP 

AS FEATURED ON

We challenge the dogma established centuries ago: Jesus was a white male, with blue eyes and blond hair.

 

Why do we still accept this?

 

Jesus came from the Middle East

The Christinaity mostly spread in Europe in the early days of the Middle Ages, and hence the people gave Jesus a white colored skin in their drawings.
 

Christianity is global, so is Jesus. 

However, nowadays the Christian religion is spread all over the world, so we think that everyone who believes in Jesus, can make his/her own version of Jesus: The European made their own version in the Middle Ages, so now 1500 years later, other believers should be able to make their own version as well.  

​

Jesus is in your heart, not of any color. 

Jesus was born in the region of Jeruzalem, still the Europeans presented him as a white person. All ethnicities should be empowered to represent Jesus as they want. Jesus is in your heart, and his color is not of importance. 


We don’t want to be right, we want to give people the option to buy the version they want.

THE WORLD IS FOR  EVERYONE 

JOIN THE MOVEMENT 

TWIFE has created a unique, black Jesus nativity scene. With our nativity figures, ​we want to start a discussion to empower all nations and cultures to change their icons of leadership to one they can relate to. Jesus should not per-definition be a white man. 

​

African Americans, First Nation People, Hispanics, Asians, Middle Easterns, each color and culture should be able to be represented at a global scale without fear. This might not be enough for some, still it is one step more toward tolerance, one baby Jesus at the time and more to come.
