Bob Jones University will present Living Gallery: This Same Jesus in Rodeheaver Auditorium on April 17, 18, and 19.
A cherished Upstate tradition for over 25 years, Living Gallery brings renowned works of art alive in a captivating life-size format. Through a combination of sacred music and dramatic storytelling in a modern setting, the event tells the story of Jesus Christ in a way that is both unique and spiritually uplifting—perfect for the Easter weekend.
This year’s program highlights the brokenness of our world and the Bible’s powerful answer. The story of true redemption and healing will be conveyed through such works as Domenico Fiasella’s Christ Healing the Blind. The emotional weight of Christ’s suffering will also be poignantly captured in Rembrandt’s The Three Crosses.
For the first time in BJU Living Gallery’s history, the presentation will feature a life-size recreation of an iconic photograph, The Raising of the Flag at Ground Zero, by Thomas Franklin. This stirring image of three New York City firefighters raising an American flag over the brokenness of the Twin Towers has become one of the most recognizable and poignant symbols of the 9/11 tragedy. We are deeply honored to include this photograph in this year’s program.
Performances will occur at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. on April 17 and 18, and at 2:00, 4:30, and 7:30 p.m. on April 19. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit bju.edu/tickets or contact the BJU Box Office at (864) 770-1372 from noon to 5 p.m. Monday – Friday.
