Yama the Llama--Off to Jerusalem - Yama the Llama Karla Lowe-Phelps 2nd edition

"Yama the Llama is carrying blankets down a mountain to sell in the village below when he is caught in an earthquake. The shaking causes him to lose all but one blanket from his load. He closes his eyes and prays. When he opens his eyes, he is not on the mountain, but is at Calvary, in front of the dead body of Jesus hanging on the cross.

He sees two men weeping. He overhears them say that they are sad because they have nothing to use to wrap Jesus' body for burial. Yama has a linen blanket left on his back from the earthquake. He offers it to the men. The offer brings the men comfort as they wrap Jesus' body for burial. Yama follow the men to a garden where he watches them place Jesus' body in a tomb. Then he fall asleep. He is awakened when the stone in front of the tomb is rolled away. An angel explains that Jesus is no longer in the tomb. Yama looks across the garden and see Jesus standing and talking with a woman--He's alive!

"Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matt 5:4"
