Description
A photo made by Nava Thompson in Eureka Springs at the entry of the Passion Play. I took this of a statue there and paired it with a scripture from Luke 2:14. "Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." ..... The Great Passion Play is performed from May through October in Eureka Springs. The Play has been performed in Eureka Springs, Arkansas since July 15, 1968..... The Play, depicting Jesus Christ's last days on earth is performed by 170 actors and actresses as well as dozens of live animals....Eureka Springs locals make up the bulk of the cast. The Great Passion Play is also home to the Christ of the Ozarks statue, a 7-story monumental statue that overlooks the downtown district.

I like this depiction of baby Jesus and Mary. Great waterfall backdrop, lighting and the perfect font for the attached verse! Blessings! L/F

Nava, What beautiful illumination—both visually and verbally! I once enjoyed the great privilege of seeing a Passion Play in Spearfish, SD, before it closed… An experience I will Never Forget!! L&F
