“What did you say, Amanda? FotoShoppe? Thursday? Why, that’s Cute Day, darling. You should know that.” And so George continued eating his farina, totally unaware of the horrible fate that awaited him—a cuteness so potent, so irresistible, so acute, that it would shake the very foundations of his quiet suburban existence.

As promised, we present the return of The Brick Testament, the Holy Bible brought to life in Legos. The highlight of the site is definitely the biblical Lego architecture, which goes (excuse the pun) by the book, chapter and verse, down to the minutest detail; above, the walls of Jericho, mid-fall.

We should add that this Lego Liturgy may not be intended as cute, nor even of interest to designers. It’s actually kind of hard to tell exactly what kind of audience it’s intended for. For an individual so incredibly dedicated to such a difficult task, the site’s creator, the Reverend Brendan Powell Smith, is a very, um, irreverent man. We’ll just say this: whatever his intention in creating The Brick Testament, we happen to think that his work is of architectural and anthropological interest, a sentiment we intend both as a credit to him and as a notice to you architects that there’s something to be said for a devotion to craft balanced with a strong sense of humor. See for yourselves within.

Solomon’s Palace: “King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold and three hundred small shields of hammered gold and placed them in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon.” (1 Kings 10:16)

Paul visits Athens: on the left, what looks a hell of a lot like the Stoa of Attalos; on the right, cute Lego statues; in the far background, the Parthenon.

Balcony of Pharaoh’s Palace. With, um, Jar Jar Binks. (You see what we mean about this guy, right?)

Down to the last cubit…
