I've always thought that religious art was solemn and somber. At least it was in the Catholic church I grew up in. Marble statutes that stood on pillars, never touching the floor. It was very dignified and somewhat intimidating. So I'm not sure what to make of the Lego Jesus that was unveiled in Sweden yesterday. This life-size, 30,000 white block Lego statute will live in the Oenstra Gryta Church in Sweden. I'm not sure who all will be offended but I think it's great. I wonder if they blessed each individual block or the sculpture as a whole. Inventive sculpture. Who would have known that I'd actually like some religious art?
