Church made out of glass. People still worship here.

This is called the Natural Bridge.

Sign next to the Berlin Wall.

10 foot section taken from the Berlin Wall.

This is called Christ of the Ozarks. Quite a large statue.

A replica of a well at Bethleham. The women would meet here to draw water and just talk. The would put their pictures on top of their heads and walk down the stairs to the water.

Mary meets you at the replica of Bethlehem and tells you about the inn and her journey to Bethlehem. She is pointing to the stalls used by the travelers to keep their animals in at night. On her left is a common oven to be used by visitors at the inn.

This is the way the rooms at the inn would have looked like. A person would have to bow down in order to enter. The width is very narrow. The purpose was to keep the Roman soldiers and thiefs from entering the rooms during the night.

The table set for the last supper in the upper room.

Replica of the death of Christ.

The empty tomb.

Replica of a boat that Peter and Andrew would have used to fish. Jesus would have been in this type of boat when he calmed the Sea of Galilee.

Replica of a type of well where Jacob first saw Rachel.

This is a replica of a pagan alta.
