Best Answer
AnswerNo. The New Testament describes Jesus as being Jewish, which in the firsst century period would have meant dark-skinned, with black hair. On the New Testament evidence, Jesus should have looked like a modern-day Arab or Sephardic Jew. Medieval European art began to depict Jesus as fair-skinned and Caucasian in appearance.

Was Mary mother of Jesus Christ a caucasian?

A:The only biblical reference to Mary's family is in Luke's Gospel, which says that her cousin was Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist. If this is correct, we can certainly say that Mary was a Jew and therefore of Middle Eastern descent. In any case, Joseph was a Jew and would have been most unlikely to have married an African woman, or even have known one. Mary would not have been of African descent.
