SATAN GIVES DIRECTIONS

Remember that JESUS GAVE DIRECTIONS last Sunday? Now it’s Satan’s turn.

Aren’t you relieved that you now know what Satan looks like!?

CHRISTUS GARDENS
Gatlinburg, Tennessee

A Major Visitor Attraction of the Smokies

In this compelling scene the adult Jesus is being tempted of Satan who “showeth unto him all the Kingdoms of the world,” saying “If thou wilt worship me, all shall be thine.” Other realistic gallery scenes are equally impressive as they unfold the life of Christ in spacious dioramas at CHRISTUS GARDENS.

JESUS IN THE SMOKIES

There have been plenty of pathetic wax renderings of Jesus, but this one is a winner. What’s up with the girl at the left? She’s been assimilated?

CHRISTUS GARDENS
Gatlinburg, Tennessee

A Major Visitor Attraction of the Smokies

A favorite alike of young and old is the life-like scene in which Christ is welcoming the little ones to come to his side. This view is a close-up of Christ and two of the children from the larger overall scene. This is but one of the spacious three-dimensional dioramas in which the life of Christ is depicted from beginning to end.

CONFEDERAMA

Verso:
“At the foot of LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE. This famed display features over 650 flashing lights, 5000 miniature soldiers, puffing smoke from cannon and the step by step explanation of the great, decisive Battles of the Civil War for strategic Chattanooga—all with intricate electronic control. Exciting & Educational.”

So what do we call the Northern version of this?

ATTACK OF THE MUTANT MOPPET

Not really.
It’s this:
“IT’S A SMALL WORLD, even for small fry, at the DELLS MINIRAMA. Located in downtown Wisconsin Dells, MINIRAMA shows in miniature all the outstanding scenic features of the famed Dells of the Wisconsin River. Trains and boats electronically propelled add sound and movement to this outstanding display.”
