Can you guys post pics of Mary and Jesus as a child? But just not any painting but one that has them both but with Christ as a child and Mary as the mother yet the painter has to do a good job at making the older (Mary) seem like more of a second class or background figure compared to The child (Jesus) who should appear as the prominent figure in the painting despite his age and lying on the lap of another for support.I
Something like pic related.

Whoa, Jesus came out big! His trunk is almost the same size as Mary's.

That’s all that I have on this hard drive OP. Let me know if you still haven’t found what you’re looking for and I will look through some other hard drives. Also let me know if you need a better quality image of any of the pics.

Thanks for the pics but they don't truly make the prominence of the Son to overshadow the rest of the individuals in the painting enough. But thanks, I'll probably add some of these in my Christian discord server.

May I ask what your standards are? Are shirtless males allowed? Mini skirts? Kneelength skirts? How about women in pants? Some of my more conservative friends think that men shouldn’t be seen in public without long sleeves.
I do apologize if this is a matter of temptation for you. But you have to realize that everyone is different and their standards are different. One friend of mine confided in me that his greatest temptation was the appearance of a slender woman’s collarbones when she is wearing a well cut shirt with a collar. Where should we draw the line?

Yeah it’s pretty tough to show a baby dominating it’s mother, even if the baby is our triune God. I’ll try to find some time this weekend to dig up some more images.

IDK, I think I pulled the image from this site. If I recall correctly, it may be one of oldest icons of Mary and Jesus to exist. I'm pretty sure it could be identified by the images around the border.

It looks like an excerpt from an icon of the Dormition.
Usually in such images (like this one attached), Our Lady is being laid to rest, surrounded by the Apostles and the Angels, while Christ overlooks them, holding an infant version of Our Lady, in a kind of reversal of the typical Madonna and Child pose.

Ortho posters have been some of the best people on this board for the last year and a half. Polite, fast reply, good answer and excellent imagery. I wish there were more of you like there used to be.

If I trained myself to become a masterwork painter and painted masterworks of Odin, would this legitimize Odinism?
What if the Europe as a whole did that?
Just wondering.
Sage because it's off topic.

It wouldn't legitimize Odinism until you commit sodomy on a man weaker than you. Also, double sage because faganism

The nineteenth-century Scottish minister Alexander Hislop claimed in his book The Two Babylons (1853) that Semiramis was an actual person in ancient Mesopotamia who invented polytheism and, with it, goddess worship.[24] Modern scholars have unanimously rejected the book's arguments as erroneous and based on a flawed understanding of the texts,[25][26] but variations of them are accepted among some groups of evangelical Protestants.[25][26]
Hislop believed that Semiramis was a consort and mother of Nimrod, builder of the Bible's Tower of Babel, although biblical mention of consorts to Nimrod is lacking.[25] Hislop believed Semiramis and Nimrod's incestuous male offspring to be the Akkadian deity Tammuz, a god of vegetation, as well as a life-death-rebirth deity. Hislop maintained that all divine pairings in religions, such as Isis and Osiris and Aphrodite and Cupid, are retellings of the tale of Semiramis and Tammuz. Hislop took literary references to Osiris and Orion as "seed of woman" as evidence in support of his thesis. This all led up to Hislop's central claim: that the Catholic Church is a veiled continuation of the pagan religion of ancient Babylon, the product of a millennia-old secret conspiracy founded by Semiramis and Nimrod.[25]
Hislop's claims are still circulated among some groups of evangelical Protestants,[25][26] in the form of Jack Chick tracts,[27] comic books, and related media. Author and conspiracy theorist David Icke incorporates Hislop's claims about Semiramis into his book The Biggest Secret, claiming that Semiramis also had a key role in the Reptilian alien conspiracy that he asserts is secretly controlling humanity.[28]
Scholars have dismissed Hislop's speculations as incorrect and based on misunderstandings.[25][26] Lester L. Grabbe has highlighted the fact that Hislop's argument, particularly his association of Ninus with Nimrod, is based on a misunderstanding of historical Babylon and its religion.[25] Grabbe also criticizes Hislop for portraying Semiramis as Nimrod's consort, despite the fact that she is never even mentioned in a single text associated with him,[25] and for portraying her as the "mother of harlots", even though this is not how she is depicted in any of the texts where she is mentioned.[25] Ralph Woodrow has stated that Alexander Hislop was an exceptionally poor researcher who "picked, chose and mixed" portions of various unrelated myths from many different cultures.[29]
