A Fred’s store in Murfreesboro, TN is getting a lot of attention due to a religious display ahead of Easter.

The display, pictured below has the three crosses told of in the New Testament account of the crucifixion of Jesus.

According to all four gospels, Jesus was brought to the “Place of a Skull” and crucified between two thieves, with the charge of claiming to be “King of the Jews,” and the soldiers divided his clothes before he bowed his head and died.

“What is holding up the Horizontal Cartons?”

That’s one miracle for Mr. Pibb.

Two more and there will be St. Pibb.

I was born in MS and have lived in AL since 1966 and I have never had an RC. They just do not appeal to me. We hardly ever had soft drinks when I was growing up. It was kool aid and sweetened tea.

It was only a century ago that these scenes were a common sight in Turkey where crucifixion was practiced on Christian Armenians, in large numbers.

You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of 12 packs, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of Pibb's.

I’ll give them an “A” for effort. You may find it a bit off kilter, by I see a creative effort to spread the word of Jesus Christ. More power to ‘em.

My thoughts exactly. Interested to see how long it lasts

Kudos on your post!! Well Done! I wonder how many FReepers would recognize the picture of William Jennings Bryan.
Paraphrasing his "Cross Of Gold" speech is pure genius

It could have been worse. At least it wasn't a tool display.

This is pretty tacky. No reason why they couldn’t have put up a legitimate Easter display inside the store if they wanted.
