I am the Art Director for Christus Gardens. We are a lot more than the "sculpture of Christ whose eyes follow you in every direction." We have ten dioramas of the life of Christ peopled by over 100 wax figures ( the costumes came from the film Ben Hur ). America's finest collection of biblical coins and rare bibles. Last year I finished a 900 sq ft mural of the Old Testament and completed 39 paintings of the parables of Jesus ( a ten year project ).
[Mark Pedro, 04/20/2002]I visited and took some pictures of the Jesus Stone. Not sure if I was supposed to or not. It sure would grab my attention. If I wasn't supposed to take pictures of it then all I can say is OOPs.
