What Would Jesus Build Out of LEGO?

Posted by JeanneSager

If your kids get this into LEGO, you might want to sign them up for the nearest seminary.

Proving the theory that LEGOs are good for the soul, a Protestant Church in Sweden has built a life-size Jesus statue . . . completely out of the itty bitty bricks.

Whether kids were actually part of the band of forty volunteers who spend a full year and a half on the sculpture, they don't say, but the kids in the congregation were allowed to run their hands all over the mega Messiah when he was revealed.

Extra cool? The church used donated bricks from families - and they managed to use all the colored bricks to build the core. I don't know about your LEGO collection, but white blocks don't play heavily into ours - so the fact that they found that many to make an all-white savior is kind of a miracle unto itself!
