I don’t know where Tim Rice got his inspiration for naming
his musical Jesus Christ Superstar,
but he may well have gotten it after visiting the Basilica of Monreale, near
Palermo.
It is a splendid 12th century Norman cathedral
with an enormous depiction of Christ that reminded me of the huge propaganda
placards of communist dictators. I could not take my eyes of Him. This is propaganda
fide at its best.
