In Orlando, Florida people pin prayers to a cross. The cross stands on the grounds of the Holy Land Experience (HLE), a 15 acre “living, biblical museum” that teaches Christian themes in a themed environment 11 miles northeast of the Walt Disney World Resort. HLE is a site on the American evangelical landscape where materiality flourishes: religious history and textual ideologies are re-presented in a way that fuses Protestant commitments with the logics of immersive entertainment.
