Jesus, also known as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, was the central figure of Christianity, regarded by most Christian denominations as the son of God, born of a human mother, Mary. He was considered an important prophet in Islam.[1]
Christ the Redeemer was a statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil depicting Jesus.[2]
There was a stained glass window in the St Jerome's Church in Godric's Hollow which depicted Jesus along with the authors of the four books of the Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).[3]
One of the known works by artist Haniball Carathi was a "little piece" depicting "our Ladie" (i.e., Mary) with the presumably infant Jesus "upon her right hand". A catalogue listing for this work was incorporated into the label of the Belch Powder box.[4]
