These are extremely old pictures, from the Catacombs of Rome. Thought I would share them with you all, and leave a little description explaining each one.

Almighty, Christ Jesus sitting with his disciples.

Almighty Jesus, forgot what he was doing here. But he seems to be rebuking an army.

The account where God, test Abraham; concerning his son Isaac.

Jonah and the Whale.

Not sure who is present here, but they seem to be disciples. This picture though was obtained from a book called "Russian Icons" in the book are other numerous extremely old pictures of Jesus and other Saints. I myself look forward to acquiring it one day.

I am sure there are more, but I just wanted to share these for now. If anyone; else has old pictures as these, please do share them. But the ones from Rome so far are the oldest "I" have seen. though I am sure somewhere out there, they are some much older than these. In fact, I am sure of it. But I hope you all enjoy, my museum tour. :)

Note that in the icongraphy Jesus doesn't have a beard (yet).
