pecuniumI have just been informed of the, "Precious Moments Cathedral".
Let that sink in for a moment. Precious moments are a sort of cross between, Hello Kitty, the "Love" dolls and Happy Bible Stories. As a "cathedral".
We are told it's, America's Sistine Chapel
The mind reels.
Sam used his beautiful and innocent Precious Moments messengers to bring well known and loved stories from the Bible to life in dozens of murals – all hand-painted by Sam himself. From the story of creation to the promise of the resurrection, the Chapel tour guide takes guests through the many stories of God’s love for us.
The art on the east side of the Chapel depicts the Bible’s Old Testament stories; while New Testament stories are shown on the west side. The mural “Hallelujah Square” celebrates the lives of real children whose lives ended too soon, but whose stories continue to bring a message of love, hope and peace. All of the murals combine to cover nearly 5,000 square feet – truly a breathtaking sight.
For those who can't bear to miss the wonder which it is feel free to examine the pictures here
For those who don't want to sift their way through the whole set: The Ceiling
One of the walls
The Last Judgement?
