I'm probably the only person alive who had before never seen The Brick Testament, the enormous site featuring many, many stories from the Bible illustrated by many, many Lego people. Check out the warning at the bottom of the page:
The Bible contains material some may consider morally objectionable and/or inappropriate for children. These labels identify stories containing:
= nudity
= sexual content
= violence
= cursing

Oh we loved that one. This year Euan had the bright idea of doing The Easter Story with Lego. I laughed for days.

Oh yes, The Brick Testament is a favorite! I particularly love the sequence about the stoning of disobedient children.

Did Euan attempt it, Sara? I'm visualizing the cross...
I just looked up that sequence, Maud. Must show Luke!
Man, that guy has a LOT of lego.
