A life-size sculpture depicting Jesus as a homeless man sleeping on a bench is set to be installed at the Manila Cathedral in time for the Holy Week.
Manila Archbishop Jose F. Cardinal Advincula would unveil and bless the image of “Homeless Jesus” on Palm Sunday, April 10 before the 10am Holy Mass at the church’s patio.
Crafted by Canadian sculptor Timothy Schmalz, the famous artwork shows Jesus identifiable by the crucifixion wounds on his feet sleeping on a bench while wrapped in a blanket. “May this statue not only become a place for visits or pictures, but a space to deepen our prayer, and to convert and change our hearts,” it said in a press statement on Wednesday.
