I feel compelled to share this.
Well, he ain’t circumcized, so that would be a fail.
Also, unless JC moonlights in porn, I’d say the artist was overly generous.
That, or it’s a stylized painting, and the “penis” is really just the lower abdomen. One of those, I’m pretty sure.
It looks like his abs to me
Think maybe he has a hard on for the Romans?
When they said he was hung on a cross, they weren’t kidding!
They are his abs, but I think it may be symbolic. You know, like in Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, where God and his angels look like a human brain. Sometimes you design one feature to look like another.
In this case, since I know nothing about the creator, I don’t know if it’s a way of saying “Jesus is a dick”, or “Jesus had balls” or whatever.
In light of the recent RCC scandals, “Suffer the little children to come unto me”?
“King of Glory”, huh?
That’s obviously supposed to be his six-pack, though I’m sure plenty of 12-year-olds have had a good snicker about it behind their hymnals.
It really looks nothing like a six-pack though. It just happens to be in the place where a six-pack would be.
Holy Viagra!
It’s either Jesus’ poorly-drawn chisled abs or a huge cartoonish cock depicted there for all to see. Which do you think is more plausible?
Or, I guess, it could be an optical illusion drawn there on purpose by a pissed-off artist.
“I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword”
Matthew 10:34
But …
“Surely I come quickly…”
Revelation 22:20
Okay, I get it’s an icon, so every detail has to be transcribed and they don’t have any artistic licence to exercise, but the person who drew this one managed to represent his . . . I dunno, ‘4-pack’? . . . without it looking like a massive beef hammer.
I especially love that at the bottom of the icon you can see Death looking up JC’s skirt.
"I see Jerusalem, I see Galilee… I see someone’s loincloth – whee!
Take a look at this one and tell me what you see. I could see it going either way in this case. The one I linked to is from a website for an Orthodox Church. I think it is nothing more than stylized abs.
At first glance I thought ‘abs’, but then I saw John is seriously blushing and Mary’s like staring at it, and now I can’t see anything but cawk.
An upside-down big-booty backside, with thighs and shins.
FYI, it’s a San Damiano Cross
I see a giant cockroach imbeded in his abdomen.
