Pacific Jesus
As intimated before, there’s a ot of love for Jesus in Rarotonga. Every day we drove past a huge sign that said, simply, “Jesus Loves YOU” and, after a few days, TSO and I both, subconsciously started singing “Jesus Loves Me” (the hymn) in our heads. After a few days, I sang it out loud, exposing us both. I tried several times to count how many places of worship on the 40 minute circumnavigation of the island but lost count in the high 20s every time. This statue of Jesus at the side of the road caught my eye early on but the light was never right to take his picture. This is the best I could do. He had a lovely little grotto all to himself, with a little waterfall and heaps of gorgeous pacific plants.
