"The Stones Would Cry Out!"

So funny story from spring break:
Some other guys and I decided to go walking around where we were staying in Lauderdale by the Sea and ended up walking to the really large church. The outside was nice and the main building had a steeple so tall that lights were put on it to warn away airplanes. Stain glass decorated the buildings and in front were three fountains as well. As we approached the fountains I noticed that it sounded like music was coming from around them somewhere. Intrigued, I followed the music to its source and was surprised and amused to find that the speakers that were playing it were disguised in what looked to be either real or artificial rocks. Now why is this funny? Take a look at Luke 19:37-40:
Now He came down near the path down the Mount of Olives and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen: "Bleesed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heaven!" Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples." He answered, "I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out."
(emphasis added)

So to be standing outside a church and to hear praises rising up from the rocks...
