The Appalachian Angels

 There are many, many angels here.



They can stretch for over a block. This is The Appalachian Christian School, just a few blocks from our house. We live in between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains.


But what are so many angels doing out in the cold this month?


Each angel had the name of a student who died. So many, and so young!



One thing I find strange is this sign wishing a Merry Christmas, right beside the angels. There will likely not be any more merry Christmas's for these families.


Bless God, all you armies of angels, alert to respond to whatever he wills. Bless God, all creatures, wherever you are— everything and everyone made by God.

Psalm 103

Oh my, this is very sad but a loving tribute to those sweet souls, and hopefully a comfort to their families. I agree about the sign. Lovely photos Ginny!

Those angels are so sad! Sweet, but I agree, they don't seem to go with Merry Christmas.
