Tuesday, March 24, 2009 – Hollywood Redeemed

Setting up for the premiere of "The Cross: The Arthur Blessitt Story" - Tuesday, March 24, 2009, Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood

Note:

    The grand opening of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on May 18, 1927, was the most spectacular theatre opening in motion picture history. Thousands of people lined Hollywood Boulevard and a riot broke out as fans tried to catch a glimpse of the movie stars and other celebrities as they arrived for the opening. The film being premiered that night was Cecil B. DeMille's “The King of Kings,” which was preceded by "Glories of the Scriptures," a live prologue devised by master showman Sid Grauman.

The premiere on March 24, 2009:

    THE CROSS is the story of one man carrying a twelve-foot wooden cross on a pilgrimage around the world. It is a mission of love, peace, blessings and Jesus. It is one man walking out his purpose and destiny, one step at a time.

He started here. From the Official Website of Arthur Blessitt, this:

    It's just awesome! Attention all followers of Jesus! Gather at the Cross in Hollywood!

    First, come to Hollywood Blvd on the night of the Premier! Bring your outreach group, church group, mission group and bring your Bible and Gospel tracts and share Jesus in the area near the Chinese Theater. Part of Hollywood Blvd will be blocked off in the area of the theater. Let's make this a giant 'Jesus Rally' for Hollywood and the world to see that we want Jesus lifted up. I will also make a walk along the Blvd with the cross. You can be there and Praise God as the Cross is lifted up in the center of Hollywood. …

From the Christian Newswire:

    Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), America's most-watched faith channel, invites you to join Matt and Laurie Crouch, Jan Crouch, Pat Boone, and a host of other Christian personalities as they gather at both the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and at TBN's Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Florida for the worldwide premier of The Cross: The Arthur Blessitt Story.

There you have it.
