So According to the Gospel of John, Philip was from Bethsaida, a fishing town located on the northernmost coast of the Sea of Galilee.

Please explain why The Ethiopian is dressed like that with tribal markings? As a Nigerian I don’t understand why you guys would do this? And a Eunuch of the Queen would be more regally dressed.

Not sure - you'd have to take that question up with the movie company

Actually, the Ethiopian Eunuch was from modern-day Sudan not the present day country of Ethiopia because he was working for Kandake which was a title for queen in Meroitic. And there are depictions of Kushites with scarification so it is accurate. The reason why Sudan was called Ethiopia was because it was a word that the Greeks used to refer to all of Africa south of the Sahara. Ethiopia is a Greek word which literally means "Burnt Face" and it was used to refer to all people's of dark-skinned complexion.

@@AskiatheGreat64 This is fascinating, thank you. I easily accepted the eunuch as Ethiopian because they have such a tangible Christian past that predates much of Europe ( their older Bible, the incredible Churches hewn from stone at the Lalibela, and the tradition that the apostle St. Matthew went there etc etc). I wonder why Sudan doesn't have the same Christian past, I am assuming the Eunuch would have returned to evangelize.

@@madgiemadgie9128Actually, Sudan was Christian for over a millennium and it had three Christian Kingdoms such as Makuria, Alodia and Nobatia. It didn't became majority Muslim until much recently. There are Cathedrals in Sudan that depicts Biblical figures that dates as early as the 6th century AD.

@@AskiatheGreat64 I love this kind of information!! Thank you so much. I will start my own research, if you have any advise on the best places to start, share if you can. I am also fascinated by the Early Church Fathers, the African ones,particularly St Athanasius. A Catholic priest on EWTN ( Fr. Pacwa) stated that he wasn’t light skinned and easily assumed to be European ( the way we see e.g North African St.Augustine portrayed as European)because he was referred to by his enemies ( he had many due to his astonishing intellect and defense of the Faith ) as “ the black dwarf”! I can’t find much on him. If you have any information on him, please direct me. Thank you so much.
