...sometime you travel abroad and you go to see something very unusual and unexpected but when you’ve seen it it’s not really tacky as you thought it was going to be –as this place was in Buenos Aires called Tierra Santa-it’s a theme park based on time and life of Jesus in and around Jerusalem –my first thought when P suggested we go and see it was –no! –but she convinced me and off we went by taxi some 25km from our Hostel-the day was hot and humid over 30 degrees!…
…this is another stupendous statue -top half of Jesus- and kind of real life like and I can understand how if you are a Christian you can really get worked up being at this theme park and the fantastic music makes the real difference…
…this was quite something else-this is Resurrection of the Lord by mechanical means-a 25m statue of Jesus comes out of this mountain every half an hour and then it rotates to bless everyone watching it below and the music throughout all the performances is really fantastic and loud and gets all Catholics really in that zone of being close to Jesus-surreal!-have to see it to believe it!...
…it also had mosque,temple etc and this Mahatma Gandhi’s place in the middle of everything -we failed to make the connection!...
…Jesus being turned over by the Romans-it also had how the world was created,manger scene,the Last Supper,Wailing Wall etc,etc but not tacky!... Jesus refused to take my advice when I said with your last wish you should have asked to tie a Muslim on your back!
