While some churches across the country are currently stuffing plastic eggs with Peeps and practicing the same boring old hymns, Bishop Rickey Moore of Sunrise Baptist Church in Louisiana is taking his congregation's Easter celebration to the next level.

According to KLSA News, on Friday afternoon Moore will seal himself up inside a coffin and plans to emerge on Easter Sunday—recreating Jesus's resurrection in a dramatic way. (It's not clear whether he's saying that he's going to stay in that coffin for the whole three days, David Blaine–style.) "I had a vision about how I could get this city's attention," Moore told KLSA. "The lord gave me a vision and because of the vision he gave me I stepped out on faith." The stunt is part of the church's elaborate Easter drama, which will depict the trial, crucifixion, and now resurrection, of Christ.
