What might have been an innocuous piece of set dressing in Father Gabriel's church is actually much more meaningful. When Rick and the rest of his group take refuge with Father Gabriel, the Bible passages posted on a bulletin board are way more significant than you might have noticed the first time around:
Romans 6:4 — We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father.
Ezekial 37:7 — So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
Matthew 27:52 — And the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
Revelation 9:6 — During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
Luke 25:4 — In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?"
