Phil Collins As Baby Jesus Statue In Mexico (VIDEO)

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/jesus-statue-phil-collins-trnd/index.html

A church in Zacatecas, Mexico, commissioned what it calls the largest statue of baby Jesus in the world. But the internet is hung up on how eerily similar it looks to a certain '80s frontman.
No, this towering, nearly 22-foot statue of the Son of God that presides over the Parish of the Epiphany of the Lord was not modeled after Phil Collins. Insert Genesis/Book of Genesis pun here.
Rev. Humberto Rodriguez told CNN he didn't set out to create the largest-ever sculpture of the Son of God.
"It is an unprecedented work," he said.


No one knows what Jesus of Nazareth looked like -- but we do know what people in the eastern Mediterranean looked like in the first century AD:

It may be "an unprecedented work" but it is weird looking.

It reminds me of the fresco that some nun tried to repair and Jesus ended up looking weird.

I know Phil Collins was really good and all, but who knew he looked like Jesus!

People like their gods to look like themselves.
