10,000 drones depict 1 King Jesus over North America
By LADONNA RHODES STAFF WRITER,

It was an extra-ordinary Holy Week in the U.S. with a spectacular light show that had never taken place before in Northern America. Thousands of drones lit up the sky over Manvel, TX as Aerial Illuminations Drone Light Shows created a worship event called “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus” from March 27 to April 5 with their Easter fina- le night flying 10,000 drones with thousands of spectators left in awe.

The Easter finale captured not just the hearts of spectators but also earned four Guinness World Records for the World’s Largest QR Code, World’s Largest LED Screen, World’s Largest LOGO, and World’s Largest Word (JESUS) created by drones.

Over the course of nine days, Aerial Illuminations produced nine different drone light shows depicting different stories of Jesus’ ministry and time on earth until the greatest story of all time – the Crucifixion and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The production took over two months to put together with over 100 crew members to pull it off. Starting with 5,000 illumination drones flown in sequence the first night, then increasing each night until their finale night of 10,000 drones, Aerial Illuminations showed America how amazing and priceless the story of Jesus was, and is, and will forever be.
