Description
A gorgeous, moving sculpture at Shields Date Garden in Indio, CA. It is a really incredible place to walk through............From their website: In 2011, William and Lillian Vanderzalm contacted Shields Date Gardens with a wonderful opportunity. The Vanderzalm�s owned a biblical garden in Vancouver, Canada. They had recently sold the property and were looking to relocate the statues to the Palm Springs area. The details were finalized and on March 1, 2011. Shield�s horticulture and landscape team then began construction. The Garden was open on a limited basis October 2012 and fully completed October 2013. The garden path winds through our 17 acre date farm. It depicts 14 scenes and includes 23 statues that chronologized Christ�s life.

Re-visiting this deeply spiritual and meaningful image... Awesome how the palm tree comes up from the Cross... Reminds me of 1 Peter 2:24, which says Jesus bore our sins in His body on the tree... Wow. And the palm trees remind me of the Holy Land where this all took place. So beautifully positioned and presented, Laurie! F/L

OMG, the juxtaposition of the Christ figure with the palm trees carries all kinds of associations, especially given how the tree comes out of the top of the cross. This is a very moving piece.

Laurie, this is a very moving and beautiful capture. I've been to Shields Date farm in Indio several years ago before this beautiful garden and statues were installed. Will definitely make it a point to visit next time. Thank you so much for sharing this exceptionally touching and well composed image with the world. A true tribute to the Ultimate Sacrifice for humanity. F/L
