•  Depiction of Jesus

  The depiction of Jesus in art took several centuries to reach a conventional standardized form for his physical appearance, which has subsequently remained largely stable since that time. Most images of Jesus have in common a number of traits which are now almost universally associated with Jesus, although variants are seen. The image of a fully-bearded Jesus with long hair did not become established until the 6th century in Eastern Christianity, and much later in the West.

John 2:1-11 reports that while Jesus was attending a wedding in Cana with his disciples the hosts ran out of wine.

" Jesus' mother then said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you".
