[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: The Medieval Whites were in a pickle, it was still early enough in history, where there were still REAL Hebrews running around, and they clearly KNEW what Hebrews looked like ie. Black Skinned. But at the same time, they were taking control of everything, and they wanted their adapted religion to look more like them. Of course they knew that if they tried to depict Hebrews as White, the God that they now believed in, would punish them for misrepresenting his "Chosen People". So they decided to depict Hebrews as looking like them - only with Black skin! (Of course, they had already BEEN punished, by being deprived of Melanin).[/QUOTE][b]Even the Russians and Eastern Europeans got into the act!

St Demetrius of the Don smashed the military might of the Golden Horde at the Battle of Kulikovo Field on September 8, 1380 (the Feast of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos), set between the Rivers Don and Nepryadva. The Battle of Kulikovo, for which the nation calls him Demetrius of the Don, became the first Russian national deed, rallying the spiritual power of the Russian nation around Moscow. The "Zadonschina," an inspiring historic poem written by the priest Sophronius of Ryazem (1381), is devoted to this event. Prince Demetrius of the Don was greatly devoted to the holy Great Martyr Demetrius. In 1380, on the eve of the Battle of Kulikovo, he solemnly transferred from Vladimir to Moscow the most holy object in the Dimitriev cathedral of Vladimir: the icon of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica, painted on a piece of wood from the saint's grave. A chapel in honor of the Great Martyr Demetrius was built at Moscow's Dormition Cathedral. The St Demetrius Memorial Saturday was established for the churchwide remembrance of the soldiers who fell in the Battle of Kulidovo. This memorial service was held for the first time at the Trinity-St Sergius monastery on October 20, 1380 by St Sergius of Radonezh, in the presence of Great Prince Demetrius of the Don . It is an annual remembrance of the heroes of the Battle of Kulikovo, among whom are the schemamonks Alexander (Peresvet) and Andrew (Oslyab). . . Watch how Saint Demetrius changed!
