The world’s biggest ‘caganer’ exhibited in a Barcelona mall in Catalonia, Spain on Thursday. The statue is six meters high. The ‘caganer’ is a Catalonian traditional Christmas decoration that dates to the eighteenth century, when it was believed that putting the figure in the Christmas Cribs would bring good luck and bring rich crops for the next year. Over the course of the time, the original character of the defecating peasant was replaced with personalities and famous people.
I’m surprised I haven’t started a project like this.
But I’m really impressed with this one as the eyes stay in the same place.
Note: I know I do my fair share of griping about the Southern Baptist Convention, but this church isn’t one of those associated with the SBC – I thought it was important to make that distinction. I checked out their website, and they happen to state of one of BibleScholarGeorge’s pet peeves – “We believe that the King James Bible is the word of God without error.”
With lightsabers of course!
And can you believe that WifeGeeding isn’t a fan of this movie?
