i have notice that catholics around the world represent the virgin according to the race they are , if they are white they represent the virgin and the virgin appears to them as a whitte person if the are indians mestizos or whatever so the virgin is to them . so here is my question :
how would the virgin be represented in a nudist park or how would she appear to her fallowers in that situation ???
also: tell me your thoughts about the way the virgin is represented do u agree or disagree ???

At a nudist park, you could probably find her represented nude. And while that might be considered disrespectful elsewhere, in that particular situation, I don't think it would be. If she were to appear to her followers there, she might appear nude; after all, she seems to be trying to emphasize (among other things) that she is mother to all of us. Likewise, that's what people are trying to say when they represent the Virgin as someone like themselves. That she's one of them, and her message is universal. It's a good thing, I think.

Dear Game,
Usually, these are not "representations" per se, created from one's own imagination, in one's own image. Rather, these are what specific people have created as an image based on an apparition of Mary to that person - therefore, if Mary appears mestizo, then perhaps she chose to appear as such, or at least, did to that individual's mind.
While it is possible that Mary always appears the same, and the individual somehow contorts her appearance into his / her own image, the reasoning is nonetheless as I have said above.

if the Virgin were represented for a nudist park she would look like the painting of Venus on a half shell!!!!!

I think the people claim to have visions of her, that she came to them in the race that they are, some even say that a statue vanished and came back black. I guess if there was a society of nudists and she felt the need to visit them, chances are that she would be nude, but since no one has shown her nude before might mean she likes to wear clothes. Why do you want to see Jesus' mommy naked?!

Mary didn't stay a virgin after Jesus birth, Jesus had brothers and sisters! The people from that time and the language spoke was Aramaic and that race of people is dark skinned.

I don't think that she would appear naked to them. I can't see how anyone would even think of a (Virgin?) naked?
The reason I put it like that is because I don't know who you are talking about. I for one believe in La Virgin De Guadalupe. I collect everything I can with her on it.
Anyway, she represents hope to me. I pray to her everyday in hopes that she will answer my prayers.
Sorry, but I don't think she would appear to anyone naked.

The Virgin Mary is the Mother of God, race has nothing to do with it. God loves us all. No matter what our nationality is we are all part of the same race, the human race.

Your question makes it impossible to determine whether you are simply a pig, or a bigot AND a pig.
Please provide more detail in future posts.
