L’Évangile en Papier

When I was younger, there was a television show that I would never miss.  It was called L’Évangile en Papier (Paper Gospels) and the guy behind it was Claude Lafortune.  He would manipulate and construct any stories from the New Testament with paper.

His creations were stunning and to be honest if I could get my hands on DVDs on this show, I would get them.   It was marvelous to see a parable get put with characters like the ones below representing the Holy Family.

Or even this one.

Baby That-A-Way

or…  Bébé Caprice in Quebec back in the late 70s…

I had this doll and played quite a bit with it.   It hate batteries like there is no tomorrow though – huge D ones!  But boy did I love having her crawl on her four around the living room!
