Last Sunday, I went to the United Methodist Church in Burlington. I would like to share an image with you all of a painting that was hung in the hallway of the church. I think it's interesting to note that Jesus and his disciples are all portrayed as white. (On a side note, I think it is neat how they portrayed Judas with his back toward Christ). However, in other paintings such as Da Vinci's last supper, some disciples are rather racially ambiguous. Why is it that Judas is depicted as having the darkest skin color out of all of the disciples in this painting? What does this say?
