Life of Jesus H. Christ in LEGO

Treatment of religious themes en LEGO has a long and glorious history, my favorite example of which being the four-part time-lapse story of the origins of Durham cathedral, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOU5fYYkyzA, a colossal hoot, if you're into such things. Christian iconography is nearly limitless, so I have confined myself to these few scenes from the life, etc., of JHC. Note that I used Gemini for pre-Resurrection, and Co-Pilot for post-Resurrection. A deliberate aesthetic choice.

Annunciation

Adoration

Circumcision

Flight to Egypt

Baptism

Sermon on the Mount

Last Supper (with wait-staff)

Kiss of Betrayal

Crucifixion

Deposition

"Noli me tangere"

Ascension

Napoleon Rides Again

After the first shot, Co-Pilot thought this series up itself with little guidance from me. Definitely has a sense of humor.
