Mention an artist, and a painting by him appears here. It’s almost like Mr. Melcher reads these comments — Naah, never happen.Click-to-enlarge image of this roughly lifesize painting can be found here, or at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry.The Adoration of the Magi (link shows Wikipedia page) is shown by its current-location page (Bing translation loses zoomed image). The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page is longer), Catholic Encyclopedia bio, and collection (more under Subcategories).So far, 3 works (above Mention link has the missing one), by this artist, have appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog.As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not religious; but, if they’re right, it would be interesting if Christ had been born today instead — I wonder what his DNA would show for his heritage, and, if he actually did pee or defecate, what a sample would be worth (people would be falling all over themselves to do the analysis).
Funny comments today. I had as many chuckles from them as from the comic. BTW, if anyone over the age of say 12 still believes this whole fairy tale, does that make them victims of an “immaculate deception”?

What’s most unsettling is that Jesus has the physique of a grown man, just shrunken. Weird!!
