   == No conclusive proof about Biblical figures ==   The notion that popular Biblical figures like Jesus of Nazareth, Judas Iscariot and Mary Magdalene were redheads comes from traditional European accounts, however no conclusive proof exists to say what any of these figures did or didn't look like. Virtually nothing from the Gospels or early Christian writings tells us what Jesus looked like, and likewise with his disciples. Furthermore, the Bible stories took place in the Middle East where red hair is extremely rare. If anything, most of these characters were probably very dark haired.  If someone knows otherwise and wishes to provide citations, they may do so, however let's keep this list factually based.
