In fairness...
Since "arya" is a Sanskrit word, the idea that even Aryans should be blond is a bit odd. ("Iran" means "land of the Aryans"...) So, though he wasn't Aryan himself, Jesus probably looked more Aryan than do most modern Europeans.

That's interesting... especially since I meant it in ze Nazi sense.
My point still stands, however, that blonde girls aren't the best to play Mary - I was a dark-haired (OK, fair-skinned, two ginger nans will do that to you) girl and I always wanted to be Mary :(

I thought he was Jewish?
You know, descendant of David and all that, just like the Old Testament prophecised? Kind of the whole point of Joseph, kind of the whole point of them going back to Bethlehem due to a Census of Jews or something? So Mary would surely be Jewish too?
So yeah, if you don't have a lot of Jewish kids around you can't really do a nativity play, but if you did have a lot of Jewish kids around there would be no reason to do a nativity play...this is hard stuff...
