While Christmas shopping in the San Francisco Bay Area in recent weeks,
I have noticed that representations of Jesus are even more popular than
usual. Some are serious, some are silly, some are very strange.
All were in regular stores mixed in with non-religious items.
The first picture in my collection is Neon Jesus. It is taken
from a children’s illustrated Bible dated 1962 that I bought
from a used book sale for the SMUM Studio 17
(Santa Maria Urban Ministry) book shelf. Jesus’ Neon-yellow hair
in the illustrations is unique and memorable, if probably unrealistic
for someone born in Israel two thousand years ago. That book started
me noticing…
