That’s some other guy I swear

Reminds me of a Noah’s ark tv special where they claimed to have found the ark and that there was a bunch of gold jewelry in it, including crucifixes. But…why would Noah have crucifixes?

Crucifixion was a common method of execution at the time. That must be Uncle Bob on the wall.

You’d think they’d hang a picture of Uncle Bob in happier times.

Well of course they hung up a crucifix. You don't think Mary and Joseph were bad Christians, do you?

Does someone know the story behind this painting? Is this really an oversight?

Been playing Assassin's Creed 2 lately, that's a piece of Eden.

Art from this period is so weird. They'd dress the Saints and such in modern clothing. It'd be like us drawing the Apostles and such, wearing 2023 swag.

Check out Hindu devotional stuff, they've got Ganesha on excel and Krishna playing cricket and stuff.

That's a church reenactment. Joseph's phone just wouldn't stop ringing!

did you know that displaying icons and figures of Jesus Christ on the cross was actually an old pagan tradition that early Christians co-opted to help spread their religion
