Does anyone know where I can find a crucifix with an African American Jesus on it? I have Googled (and Google Image) it every which way and can't find ANYTHING!

I am laughing because my parents are devout Catholics, and I always grew up with pictures of a blonde haired, blue eyed Jesus at my house...ha! I saw this article... [URL="http://www.thetablet.org/01212006/stories.htmlout"]http://www.thetablet.org/01212006/stories.htmlout[/URL] it talks about el cristo negro and the devotion of Guatamalans to Him...there's also a picture of the crucifix...I don't know if they make "smaller" ones...maybe you can ask on the Gutamalan adoption forum? Good luck!

Thanks! For now, I just want a cute cross with animals on it - got that picked out, but when the baby is older (bear in mind we don't even HAVE a match yet!), I want as many AA depictions around the house as we can and I think this is a biggie. I know Jesus wasn't AA, but he sure wasn't CC, either! :prop: Now, I just have to figure out which churches in our area have a high AA population! Great idea!
I've just spent the last two hours looking at all the online Catholic stores I could find. And I cannot find one African American crucifix! But I did find an excellent selection of figurines that you might like at [url=http://www.christianbook.com]Christianbook.com - Shop for Christian Books, Bibles, Music, Homeschool Products, Gifts & more[/url]. There is a really nice Holy Family Figurine, showing an African American Holy Family. The URL is [url=http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/gift_results?page=1406235&sp=87161&event=51500AFR%7C1403534%7C87161]African American Christian Figurines[/url] ~ it's down at the bottom of the page. :)
