From the article:

A Florida church has recreated the biblical scene of the last supper in one of the coolest ways possible: with 78,408 LEGOS.

To see the "epic Lego display":

2. The Cast of The Sopranos did a Tableau of It, Too

7. Ouch.

4. Everybody's Doing It.

I could post examples for hours...but I won't.

12. I think every show ever has done it

It's easy and recognizable.

5. Is this "good news" or "bad news"?

Some people might be offended by portraying a religious scene using a toy.

[guillaumeb]

8. It might be called interesting news.

Or weird news, or a nice ad for Legos.

6. Are the LEGOs glued to a board or is that a picture of the display on the board?

Do you know?

Either way it's a pretty creative use of LEGOs.

9. It says they used a computer to pixellate the picture.

And they assembled it using the pixels as a color guide.

10. So it's a mosaic, with legos as the tesserae?

Pretty cool.

[guillaumeb]

11. And it incorporates computer science as a learning tool.

One imagines that the children also found it to be a very interesting learning experience.

14. "Tesserae" - that's a new word for me. Thank you.

13. OK. So it is a mosaic.

Children in costume in a tableau. Jokes on me. Very cool post, guillaumeb. Thanks.

16. None of these are the "biblical scene". They're all the da Vinci scene

of 13 people weirdly sitting on one side of a table (the tattoo might be a loose interpretation, or another artist's) as if they're the top table at a wedding, ie on display.

17. The tattoo is probably a matter of practicality

Your canvas is only so big and tattoos can only be scaled down so much before they lose their detail. The artist probably placed a few guys on the other side of the table to make sure all the apostles could be represented there while keeping them large enough to be distinguishable.

But other than that, he was totally cribbing on Da Vinci.
