Jacob’s Ladder and Jack’s Giants

The idea of Jacob’s Ladder reminded me of Jack and the Beanstalk. Both have to travel up to the sky or heavens. They also have to face a giant/angel. And when all is said and done, both are in a favored position. So, given these similarities, I decided to combine them into one page.

Also interesting is that, in Mexico, the story is John (Juan) the Giant Killer.
