My daughter and I were off the highway, driving rural roads in Oklahoma and Arkansas, when we came around a curve and saw this…
I snapped a picture as we were moving by and realized it was the Easter story, so I kept snapping… I pulled this from the long shot, realizing we have Palm Sunday, The Last Supper, Jesus in the Garden, and the walk with the cross
Then the crucifixion…
And Jesus rising from the tomb, ascending into heaven…
It was so fast that we could barely take it in with cars behind us on the highway. There wasn’t even room to stop on the two lane road. But, it will stay with the two of us because of its unexpectedness. I’ve counted over 50 figures, handmade life-size dolls, that someone or some group made, not to mention the scenes. There was no signage, the metal building doesn’t appear to be a church. The scene spoke for itself and the faith and devotion of its creator or creators.
Whatever your faith, you would be touched by such a scene appearing out of nowhere on a rural road. Our viewing of it took seconds to get the message across. We saw the familiar story in a flash that triggered all we’ve ever learned or felt about it.
Happy Easter Week!
