Life of Jesus in Christmas lights: the director’s cut

Good Grief, did someone take my Jesus flogging photo and turn it into an animated gif?
Last year I posted The Life of Jesus in Christmas Lights, photos from a truly bizarre neighborhood holiday light display. Every year some folks in Blue Springs, MO use the medium of lights to tell the Christmas story. And the Easter story.
I am happy to report that my coverage of this exhibition has brought Blue Springs the recognition it deserves: the number one spot on the 12 days of Kitchmas.
At least in Blue Springs, Missouri, they’ve gone beyond the usual fare. Passing motorists are invited to rubberneck the blood-soaked scourging of Christ – a Mel Gibson-inspired Bible belting of truly epic proportions. Like it or loathe it, it’s a discussion starter and earns this year’s top award.
The Jesus lights beat out the likes of the Miracle Wheel and some faith poker chips, so that’s a pretty big honor.
The Life of Jesus in Christmas Lights is now on Flickr, complete with bonus shepherds and patriotic finale.

Becky–I’m so proud of you for spreading the holiday spirit. Nothing like a good flogging around the holidays–which I think does happen at times in Germany and maybe some other Nordic countries.
