Jesus on the barn is fading.

Jesus Crucified on a Barn

The paint on the barn is starting to fade and peel, but it's still worth checking out. There are actually two painted sides, not just one. But beware -- there is nowhere to pull over on the road, and cars drive pretty fast through that area. Be prepared to take some quick pictures from the car window.

Christ on a Barn.

Jesus Crucified On A Barn

Down Indiana State Highway 44 on the way towards Franklin, IN, you will find this very unique painting on the side of a barn. You will see Jesus on a cross and the message, "HE DIED FOR YOU!" I believe there is also a painting on the other side of the barn.

According to Larry Johnson: "The Crucifixion was painted on the barn by a local church youth group, with the owner's permission, to cover and to discourage the obscene graffiti that once adorned this structure."
