Me: No, Jesus has been dead for a long time.
Alexander: Five years?
Me: Much, much longer than five years - about 2,000 years.
Alexander: 2,000 years?! How old was he when he died?
Me: Well, we're not really sure, but history tells us he was about 34 years old.
Alexander: How did he die?
Me (with hesitation): Well, do you see that cross up there? (I point to a cross suspended from the ceiling of the cathedral.) He died on the cross.
Alexander: What? Did he fall off the cross?
