For those unfamiliar with the contemporary images of Jesus which are readily accessible all over the interwebz, this handy reminder is included:

quote:

---

What Does Jesus Looks Like?

Jesus is portrayed in the Bible and most photos as a man with shoulder-length brown hair, a full beard, wearing a mid-calf lenght white robe and sandals. In some pictures he is portrayed wearing a blue sash with this ensemble also.

The Bible references Jesus as a shepherd also, so in some instances he is pictured with a large staff, or rugged stick, in his hand.

In historical recordings, Jesus was crucified on a cross, resulting in some pictures portraying him with holes in his feet and the palms of his hands. In addition to the holes, he often is seen wearing a crown of thorns that the Romans put on his head when they placed him on the cross.

Special style names that caught my eye were
"I Am Knock Off" and, in the "Life of Christ" section of neckties there were two little-known incidents depicted from Jesus's life - "Jesus prays with sheep" and "Metallic head of Christ".

I don't think anyone's posted the delightful merchandise from Donkey Products (in Germany). I was at a concert this evening, and in the gift shop I found Holy Family Teabags! These were such wonderful Gadgets for God that I came home to check out their website, where I also found a Crucifixion Cookie Cutter and some interestingly-shaped "holy" soaps. Strangest of all -- the Breast Tree Ball

Posted by Mamacita (# 3659) on :
 
Fabulous finds, Pigwidgeon. The Crucifixion Cookie Cutter would make delightful treats for the reception after Easter services, don't you think?

While in Launceston (Cornwall) today, I visited a retro/kitsch shop with lots of interesting and fun items, including this holy holy water bottle, which 'redeems parched sinners'; this Divine Inspiration Hand Sanitiser (cleanse thy hands from the Devil's dirt) and a Benedictaphone (which I seem to recall has been featured here recently).

So if on holiday this year (especially if in Cornwall), look out for some fun Gadgets for God to take home with you.

Rather bizarrely, a Christian FB friend who normally posts endless pictures of cute puppies, interspersed with "Footprints" and "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" posted a link to it on FB. I strongly suspect she didn't actually realise what she was posting, just saw the word "Christian" and hit "share."

She has teenage children at school, so it would have shown up on their FB feeds too - my daughter is friendly with her daughter and she (my daughter) was at the idea that her friend's Mum would post a link to Christian sex aids on her FB page.

Archie McPhee's novelty store has an assortment of "religious kitsch".

I especially like:

--Ark of the Covenant (Is it safe to touch???)

--Jesus bandages.

--And assorted Buddhist gear (especially "break-dancing monks" tea cups).

Oh, and does your clergy (or God!) complain that your confession is short, uncreative, or just plain dull? Try all the seven deadly sins items!

An article today about the many items being marketed for the Pope's forthcoming visit to Philadelphia.

There is a lot to choose from, but I think my favorite is:

...the pope-shaped mozzarella that will be available at Pastificio in South Philadelphia. Owners Anthony Messina and Frank Sangiuliano commissioned artist Larry Buss to make the mold.

"I see that being a centerpiece at the table decorated with some tomatoes and basil," Messina said. He's taken 80 advance orders at $20 apiece.
