Handsome devil

My local church is all geared up to celebrate the death of Jebus, some 2000 years ago.
Good Friday approaches - so called because it’s a good thing that Jebus died for our sins.

Little known fact: The day before Good Friday is call Oh Shit I’m Going To Die Thursday.

I took this picture because it made me smile - It’s the classic English interpretation of the bible - straight out of the Ladybird Book of God.

Jebus strikes a beatific pose, nonchalantly leaning against a beautifully appointed tomb (which, against all the odds, what with Jerusalem being quite dry, seems to be covered in moss) with a nice big round flat stone that has been rolled back to facilitate His exit.

Jebus himself is a bit of a hunk. Tall, flaxen of hair and (I imagine) blue of eye. He’s well dressed, in some pretty snazzy robes and has a wistful look about him.

He’s also as white as Whitey McWhite from Whiteyville. Pretty good going for a guy who was born and raised a Jew in a lovely sunny bit of the world. Maybe being locked in a cave for three days made him go pale.

You can’t keep a good man down.
