Jesus is the Reason for the Season:  How do we honor the birth of Jesus?  With religious or secular symbols?  How do we honor departed loved ones in cemeteries?  With religious or secular symbols?  Dialectical tensions in society are often reflected on cultural landscapes.  Here, a dominating white-marble Jesus has been erected to watch over a family burial plot.  What symbols dominate our Christmas landscapes?  Rosewood Cemetery.  [2012]
