gravel track that the door rolls on.
| The bronze angel, sculpted by a young area farmer turned sculptor and cast in a bronze foundry in Lubbock, is nine and a half feet tall; the circular stone beside the door weighs eight hundred pounds and rolls in a circular track so as to close the door between Good Friday evening and Easter morning. The height of the angel was determined by making it proportional to the kneeling Christ in the Gethsemane feature in the section just south of the tomb section. The empty tomb feature was completed in 1993 just as we were selling Resthaven. | |
