The Crucifixion (in Lego)


“They struck his head with a reed and spat on him.” — Mk 15:19

The Crucifixion (in Lego) (The Brick Testament)

This site, by “Rev” Brendan Powell Smith, features Lego illustrations of Biblical passages — including many that you don’t often see in kiddie books, including the Dueteronomy passages on rape, bestiality, incest, homosexuality, transvestism, and “how long to hang somebody”.

I’m fascinated by the scowling face of the rapist who pays the father of a violated virgin 50 shekels, and who then has to marry her. I didn’t know there were scowling Lego minifugres.

I don’t exactly recommend it for vacation bible school. VeggieTales it ain’t.
