Google Maps and.. Jesus.

Don't worry, this isn't a sharp turn in the history of Google Maps Mania where I start to spread the good word. Over the past few days I've found a theme in many Google Maps mentions around the blogsphere - Jesus.

First, in keeping with the Flickr Memory Map concept, here is a Google Maps overlay "showing certain cities from the life and ministry of Jesus." Click any of the pushpins to see the name of the city and a link to passages in the ESV that mention the city. [via]

In other news, the blogsphere is alight with speculation of a Google Map satellite view allegedly showing the face of Jesus in the country of Peru. You be the judge. [via]
