They left black, and came back white.

I done a bit of research in the BHI, they use filters on those pictures to make them look black. If you find the originals that do not look like that.
They use song of Solomon 1:5 as evidence but it clearly shows they cannot be black. As the first part is a woman speaking and not Solomon.
1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Verse 2 says
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
Clearly not Solomon saying these words as it is a female speaking. The woman speaking is making a contrast between her and the daughters of Jerusalem, saying she is black but beautiful. Could the woman possibly be the queen of Sheba?
The Israelites were not black, I'm not saying some Israelites didn't turn black as scripture says they will be scattered to all nations of the earth.
If you look at the NIV version it subtitles who is speaking at each time.
The BHI don't care about the context of the verse but use this and other verses to espouse their hateful racist ideology.
Peace and love brother on this holy day.
He is Risen!

The people in the painting do look to be have a darker skin, but that could be down to the aging process of the paint used.
This was painted in the 1300's in Russia and in that period it would of been painted for Jesus and the disciples to be white men.
Zoom in to the facial features of those painted and look at the noses, they have European noses.
My church has an old painting from the 1300's and it's has a darker discolouration due to age.
They look like they have tan, or brown skin to me, but not black.
It's discolouration of the paint, they would of been painted a lighter colour.
Even paints we use today will go darker.
Have you ever seen old oil based white gloss for wood work on doors or architraves? After a while it goes yellow, give it a few hundred years it will go brown.
No, I've never seen it, but I haven't really tried to look into it. I don't doubt it though... makes sense.
