The Innocent One freely gave himself up to death, accepted being nailed to the cross and raised above the earth. Alone, upon the altar made of wood, the Redeemer embraced the whole world with his outstretched arms. Oh Cross of Christ! You were chosen to lift high the Son of Man; you are the instrument that draws the whole world to healing and life. By your height, oh Saving Cross, the Christ reveals himself to the world as He truly is: purest love, without resentment; long-suffering, yet not defeated. The Son of God even allowed himself to be wrapped in a shroud in order to fulfill the ancient rites of burial. Oh empty tomb! By showing us that you cannot contain Christ within your walls, you are the clear sign of the cause of our joy!
-Bishop Daniel E. Flores, Easter Message 2010

Wow! It according to the link that you provided will be available for its first public viewing in ten years! No wonder you would like to go to see it. I'm always interested in how images are created and the story behind them. Of course, this one is extremely special. An understatement! You might want to check out my blog Reflections Upon Design
