Jesus of the day: "Veil of Veronica"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After another weekend I have decided to work a bit more with video from now on. So the next thing I will have in store for my web-audience is a tour of the premises which I will record tomorrow. Last week I have bought a number of movies about Jesus from various years and I will watch them in the following weeks.
To be blatantly honest with you, I don't now where this project is heading. But I have a feeling that the solution is just around the corner now. First, I will structure the selection of the "Jesus of the day". So from now on, I will concentrate of "Favourite Jesus" first (see charts). Which brings you this "Veil of Veronica", which feels more like a "Shroud of Christ". "Shroud" sounds sort of dark and this picture is probably one of the "darkest" ones in the collection, so it would fit rather well.
Secondly, I will work on the analysis side a bit more, incorporating the New Testament into the equation. I know that this proceedure might put off some people, because the analysis is bound to drift off into the absurd. Where all analysis is bound to drift to, in my opinion. And "the absurd" is something that always seems to appear, when things are being taken very literal and very honest. And this is another area that is not completely unknown within the world of religion either. In my opinion, and I'm more than happy to discuss my views, this is where even things like religion and belief have a tendency to become dangerous. For those practicing or for those around them.
In order to address this issue, I will deliberately push the analysis into the realms of the surreal. Not to provoke, but to shift focus and to force in a different direction of thought.
The Statistics published so far are very dry and clean of interpretation. That will change.
