The reason Jesus and all of the others were depicted as blond with blue eyes and pale skin is that all the events in the bible really didn't take place within the Middle East. It all happened in Sweden, hence the depictions of Swedish Jesus.
Either that, or the Mormons are right and skin color is like a mood ring for how sinful a person is.
Actually, when the angel vistited Mary and told her what God's plan was, she said, 'Be it unto me according to your word'. So, I think she agreed to the plan. Also, I was noticing that the angel told her that 'a sword would pierce your heart'. He let her to know she would be facing suffering if she did this. I think God gets a point for full disclosure, too. hahahaha.
lol all the pictures i've seen,jesus is white, blond hair and blue eyes... and has a great big cool looking beard... mary was also white... and joseph too. lol
Perhaps the only light haired/eyed people in the middle east?
He could have at least asked her if she wanted to be pregnant
god: "hello mary, would you like to be pregnant with my baby?"
mary: "well not right now... I'm single... unmarried... being pregnant won't go down to well for me.. how about in a few monthss after I get married?"
god: "oh ok then, I'll see you after the wedding!"
mary: "bye god!"
god: "cheerio"
