For the last few years, I have been posting The Appalachian Angels at Christmas time. They are in front of The Appalachian Christian School.
Each angel represents a student who has passed away, with their family's name on it. The angels span at least two blocks. So I am thinking these represent the students all of the Appalachian Schools, not just this one school.
This one has a tiny wreath atop it's head.
“And there were
shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at
night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the
Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to
them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy
for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born
to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
Luke 2

Ginny, I love this Scripture verse. Beautiful photos and great description of this event.
Nice idea however those oversized figures are an eyesore...less is more.
It is a very heartwarming and very special thing they do. These angels bring comfort to those who still mourn their children, as will the Scripture you chose from the Gospel of Luke.
As lovely as they look it's also sad to see so many of them. That is a lot of children to have passed away. How long ago was this started?
they are amazing and sad at the same time. these last few days, the violence in our world has seemed to escalate, hate if filling the air instead of love and caring and more angels will be needed. the tiny wreath is heart breaking
Such a unique and touching display, Ginny. Thanks for sharing!
They are really pretty and make a wonderful statement. Perfect verse to go with them!
A very solemn for the community, but somehow lovely at Christmas time. Glad Alaina is doing good. I hope you have a great week and weekend.
Such a beautiful way to remember those lost.
That is a touching memorial. Is this how many passed this year? That is a lot of children. Sad
I know this is so heart touching when you past by and see them. A lot of angels 😇
What a sweet remembrance. Especially at this time of year.
It’s sad that there are so many, and what a sweet remembrance. ❤️
A beautiful way to remember a loved one at Christmas.
What an beautiful way to remember a loved one, Ginny. It must be so powerful in person. Thank you for sharing, my dear friend.
What a powerful remembrance.
It is a reminder that we need to be praying for our children and the children of this present world.
