One of the oldest and most tasteful attractions in Gatlinburg is Christus Gardens, winner of "Travel Attraction of the Year." Christus Gardens offers a series of inspiring dioramas with more than 100 life-size wax figures in realistic settings. They relate the Greatest Story Ever Told, and have been called "America's # 1Religious Attraction."Also featured at Christus Gardens:
The Promise - a 900 square foot original mural featuring over 30 characters from the Old Testament.
The Place of Parables - a series of life-size paintings depicting the beloved stories told by Jesus.
Biblical Era Coins - America's finest collection of Ancient coins from the Holyland and Imperial Rome.
The Carrara Face of Christ - a 6-ton marble sculpture of the head of Christ, so skillfully crafted that the entire face seems to follow your movements.
I first visited here in 1965, and the place is still drawing new visitors, and returning ones, every day.
