I've never seen or heard of a live person displayed on a cross, except at Oberammergau, Germany. In the past couple weeks you've described two such incidents. Remarkable. It is done in Latin communities and is hundreds of years old, it definitely is not a fundie type thing. My guess is Harry saw a photo of it, and really didn't understand what it was, and just guessed that it was a fundie thing. Your guess is wrong, crap for brains, and it wasn't in a "Latin" community. |

It wasn't "a" church. It was a parade, and there were a number of live Jesus on a Cross floats sponsored by local churches and other religious organizations. I didn't pay any attention to the names of the churches or organizations; I was laughing too hard. At the time I observed the parade, I doubt there were many Latinos living in the community. |

That was a great small town with a number of churches and other religious reorganizations. Most small towns have a church or two, but you hit the mother load of a small town. What was the name of that town again? |

What was the name of that town again? How big does a town have to be to have X number of churches? Please explain your theory. Is "big" dependent on physical area, population in the town limits, population within a certain distance of the town, or what? |
