Chapel in the Woods (Berlin Wall and Liberty Bell)

I had never seen any piece from the Berlin Wall, so it was awesome to see the artwork on the big piece from the wall. The picture on the wall was written by someone who was stuck behind the wall and obviously wanted the wall to come down. The picture symbolizes a path leading upward, either to the other side of the wall, or heaven if the man died before reaching the other side of the wall. Psalm 23 written on the wall talks about how God leads you and protects you through life and prepares a place in heaven for you, which obviously relates to the illustration.

The Liberty Bell was a replica, it represented how we should be free and that freedom is not free. Christianity is persecuted and people have been dictated and controlled and persecuted for years, but we must fight for freedom.
