Tricamo Contracting Building the Tomb of Jesus
Tricamo Contracting Co. built the Tomb of Jesus at Our Lady of the Snow's, a spiritual attraction in Belleville, IL. Members of the Catholic Church wanted to add a new attrations for visitors and decided to have the Tomb of Jesus constructed.
Socia Sculpturing Company of Chesterfield, MO built the steel structure in their studio. (Their studio being an airplane hanger at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport)
It was then loaded on a truck and transported to the site in Belleville, IL. Tricamo Contracting set up scffolding and applied a 3" thick gunite concrete surface on the inside and outside surfaces of the structure.
After the landscaping and planting was completed, an eternal flame was lit inside the tomb. The words on the tomb read "He is Not Here, He is Risen". |
