i didn't know that about dracula's brother, that's cool as hell and yet again history is cooler than the things we come up for our stories.

Fish of hemp posted:Hocus pocus! The water is now wine! I seem to remember being told that “hocus pocus” originated as a mocking corruption of the “hoc est corpus” from the Catholic mass, so that tracks. No idea if it’s true. Or is that the joke?

. Jesus was regularly shown as a clean-shaven "Roman" man in early Christian art. Of course, sometimes he was bearded (well, the earliest bearded Jesus is in the Catacomb of Commodilla from the late 300s, so this may not count as true Early Christian), as well, but even that was no attempt to make him look "Jewish" (but rather a philosopher, or a Jupiter). Somewhat like early Christian theology, early Christian art was decentralized and developed as a serious of local art experiments within the late Roman style. Christians adopted their visual image of Jesus from Roman art, not from Judaism. The standardized bearded Jesus developed primarily from Jupiter and philosopher images after Constantine. Roman philosophers were usually portrayed with a beard and long hair, particularly, Stoics and Cynics). The long hair and beard were associated with a philosophical indifference to worldly gain and luxury, and carried associations with Greekness (Greeks being the archetypal philosophers). At the same time, many Roman gods (see Jupiter) were already portrayed with long hair and beards, something that almost certainly influenced Jesus iconography (a way of making him consistent with the visualization of the divine in Rome). Also, long hair sometimes appears on images of a youthful Jesus as "the Good Shepherd" (this was the most popular image of Jesus in the earliest portrayals of him from the 200s and 300s). The long hair would suggest youthfulness and rusticity, adding to the main theological point of Good Shepherd iconography: Jesus forgives you, rather than condemning you for your sins. The earliest Christians made art in tombs (the famous catacombs in Rome, for example) and particularly after Constantine the image of Christ expanded in importance, grandeur, and number. Christ became a new kind of Jupiter, ruling the universe from a throne
