That wave.

I just realised something.

Interesting.

Excuse my ignorance, but who is that dude? Jesus, I'm assuming? And is he waving or just holding his hand up? I'm just not sure of the context of the pictures.

Thanks for sharing that, too.

Those icons are of Jesus, yes. He's not waving, but that's the gesture that both Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox believers know as a teaching or blessing gesture (blessing, in particular, when the Sign of the Cross is done by priests in general). Of course, in JoA, the incarnations don't always do it with just the two fingers up. I've edited my post to include more information about it. v^_~v

thanks for elaborating, I just wanted to check before I started making a fool of myself. :)

A teaching or blessing gesture would make complete sense. Impressive that you picked up on this subtlety. You sure do your research :)

Apparently I am more obsessed with religion God God as Joan of Arcadia portrays Him/Her Joan of Arcadia than I thought. 8DDDDDDDDDDDD;;;

Also, I just love research. XD

Hey, no need to thank me. ;3

i never noticed that. hmmm, something to think about.
whats-her-name, the woman who created the show, is catholic, so i guess it's not all that surprising she threw that in there.
i so miss that show.

Yep, Barbara Hall was a new convert to Roman Catholicism when she created JoA. But, I'll have you know that those icons I've put up are also well-revered in the Eastern Orthodox Church. d^_~b

I totally miss the show, too, if it helps. ;_;
