the blonde blue eyed jesus......what a fable....why tall....i would not think tall at all...perhaps tall compared to the rest of the short people...
The blue eyes and the tallness comes from Jewish tradition.
It is used to discount the story about Hallowed Patrimony (for Mary).
The story goes that she was a strumpet for Romans and one of her clients/boyfriends was Panther the Centurion.
Italians often have blue eyes. Green eyes too. Not just dark brown.
My own personal view is that the stories told my St. Matthew and St. Luke are accurate, and that Mary had a theophany, and the child Jesus was born of God who is his Father -- Catholic view.
Jewish tradition is the only account that we have of what Jesus probably looked like -- blue eyes and tall like a half breed Roman.
