    This is where you could get a cool pic ! We went on a weekend and nobody was there. It's a fun little excursion.

    This was huge... literally! We stopped by to check out the praying hands at the Oral Roberts University in Tulsa OK. There is a small parking lot to the right as you enter the university. We parked and walked up to the grassy area and well-manicured garden where the hands were. There are also benches near the sculpture if you'd like to stay longer. Standing at 60 feet high and weighing 30 tons, this was the largest pure bronze sculpture in the world. Among the beautiful sculpture are flagpoles representing flags from different countries and hedges that are shaped to spell ORU. The verse on the statue is Luke 2:52 "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man..." You can't miss it... find this colossal sculpture at the entrance of the university. These massive hands can even be seen from the airplane when touching down in Tulsa. Also on the property is the Oral Roberts Prayer Tower. We couldn't get near it since the University was closed.

    Beautiful spot, Great place to visit for Easter weekend. The only issue is right now is all the construction around the area and you can't park close. So if you have sometime and want to want to see some beautiful free art work, come and enjoy

    As fat as road side attractions goes, this is big. 60 feet big. I thought we was trying to catch a big butterfly but JulieH says they're praying. My idea maybe more realistic but regardless of your religious affiliation, visting the home of Oral Roberts University is something different, especially if you're not from the South and used to institutions like this. Where the hands clap away today is not there original home. Moved across campus they welcome you off the main drag. A very convenient parking lot just off to the right provides a quick in and out while you walk off the long road trip.

    Stopped here when visiting for the IM and it was neat. Definitely something to see if you like art and architecture.

    I'm not religious but when you are in Tulsa, you HAVE TO SEE the GIANT PRAYING HANDS. They are really HUGE.
