Lego Jesus – The Easter Chronicles: Good Friday
A long time ago, Sofa took a series of photos showing Lego minifigures performing the Easter story. My first real attempt at Toy Photography, that was inspired by the Bible. Here is how that turned out. I’ve always meant to try updating the photos, here is the new attempt…
Mark Chapter 15
Mark Chapter 15
With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
Alright. Quick note about this one, and my attempt at explaining why I’ve taken this as a photo for Good Friday. I guess I have two seperate trains of thought about the above picture.
One. There are certain… technical issues involved with hanging a Lego figure on a cross. Basically I wasn’t keen on taking Lego Jesus apart – particularly when I couldn’t be sure I would be able to put him back together.
Second reason. Well, I wondered. If I was a disciple where would I be? You can argue its cool to hate on Peter for his actions on Maundy Thursday, but at least he was around, involved, and trying. Would I be more likely to be found somewhere quiet? Quietly freaking out about my world falling apart? Or would I be found drinking a pint in The Winchester, waiting for it to all blow over?
There will be more throughout the week… Please come back! (And please share any inspiration for future images)

Mark Chapter 14
Mark Chapter 14
32 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”
35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hourmight pass from him. 36 “Abba,[f] Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41 Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

Mark Chapter 11: 15-18
Mark Chapter 11
15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[c]? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d]”
18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.

Notre-Dame
Sofa is generally known for sharing either silly things about Church, or silly things the Church has said or done.
On a good day, Sofa can be accused of being funny. (Occasionally on purpose) .
Somedays it doesn’t feel right to share flippant things.
At the time of typing, Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris is on fire, in the midst of it, hopeful footage has been shared on Social Media, and it just feels right to share it here.
Most recent news I’ve heard by the way, is that “the structure of the building is saved”. Perhaps. Sometimes. There is space for hope within world news.

6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
