Why is Jesus always depicted as white skin and blue eyes if he was born in Jerusalem? [Spirituality & Religion]

Aren't people from that region generally tanned skin and brown eyes???

One of my favorite Christmas songs is [i]Some Children See Him.[/i] Part of the lyrics go

"The children in each different place
Will see the Baby Jesus face
Like theirs but bright with heavenly grace
And lit with holy light."

@MasterDvdC and blue eyes with white skin la la la 🤣

@JovialPlutonian No. Pull it up. The rest of that verse (which is the last) says

"So lay aside each earthly thing
And with your heart as offering
Come kneel beside this infant king
'Tis love that's born tonight."

The other verses talk about just about every skin tone as being used to picture Christ.
