R.I.P. Touchdown Jesus.

Along Interstate 75 between Dayton and Cincinnati Ohio, was a 6 story tall statue of Jesus portraying his emerging from the water after being baptized.  The statue was called “touchdown Jesus” because it portrayed Christ with his arms stretched high above his head.

Well, on Monday night, the fiberglass and metal structure was struck by lightening.  It caught fire and subsequently burnt to the ground.  All that was left was a metal support frame which resembled a pitch fork.

The church has vowed to replace the statue with a new “Jesus”  but, time will tell.  Who knows if it will be fashioned the same as the old statue.
