Easter In Jesusland

Today to celebrate Easter, Amanda and I went to Tierra Santa, a religious theme park. In fact, the one and only religious theme park in the world. It was unlike anything I have ever seen. We lined up to buy tickets, then lined up again to go to a play about the baby jesus being born. There were lots of angels and a fog machine, and rays of light coming up from the crib. It was pretty entertaining. Theh we were left to explore the rest of the park, which basically consists of lots of rooms with scenes from the bible.

Here I am with Jesus. Here's Jesus being nailed to the cross. Creepy.
Here is me and Amanda and my pet camel.
J on a burro.
Jesus and some others on the crosses. All those people are fake. Or are they?
Jesus with Mary, after getting off the cross.
Jesus at the top of the mountain.
Jesus with the crowds behind him. He's huge!
Hey, look! A resurrection!
Here he comes...
Every half hour the Halleluja chorus blasts and Jesus resurrects. And if you're not sure where to look, there's the sign.
Whew! Made it!

There were all sorts of scenes with Jesus, one being the receipt of the crown of thorns. Jesus was on his knees looking up and a little girl ran up to him and hugged him while I was about to take a picture. The rest of the family gathered around to take a picture, but as they posed the mother took the camera away from her face and told the girl "No, don't smile. Not for this picture," because as we all know, a crown of thorns isn't funny. But taking a family picuture next to Jesus receiving it, now that's hilarious.
