In this video by Father Mike Schmitz on Ascension Presents, he discusses the topic of what Jesus looked like. He explains that while there are many artistic depictions of Jesus, none of them are accurate as they are limited by the culture and artist who created them. Instead, Father Mike suggests that seeing Jesus in the poor, homeless, and rejected is a more accurate representation of his likeness. He also mentions that the Eucharist is where we can truly see Jesus' face.
