Shana's Birthday Trip 2019 : Christ in the Smokies of Gatlinburg

 One of the specific things Shana wanted to see was Christ in the smokey's museum and gardens. This ended up being a good parking spot as well! This featured lots of life size biblical scenes that you walk through and ending with beautiful gardens surrounding an art sculpture called. The Face of Christ.  And in true Gatlinburg fashion, each biblical scene and each art piece had something a little bit off. Either there was a surreal representation of satan, or some kind of prop that wouldn't be used at that time, or some kind of piece of clothing that wasn't right Or the art piece itself  Featuring Christ with the background of the smoky mountains. Even the parking lot, with the contrasting signs of the signs of the face of Christ and dear God, please lock your car! I was especially intrigued by their real collection of antique coins from Israel, all from near Christ's time! I have one on my miniature shelf, and I've always wanted to see what kind of coin it actually was. I saved these pictures to do further research.
