This is a statue that is not much loved by my congregation I'm afraid. It's very modern in style and our church is English neo-gothic so I suppose I see the complaint. But I've always had a soft spot for it and at certain times during the day when the light shines in just right...
This is in a back corner of the church, the only light is coming through the stained glass. I like the Madonna and child with Jesus entering Jerusalem in the background.
Thanks for the inspiration Lee! I'll do some more soon.
Peace

Very nice. I like the sculpture, too, although I agree that it might not fit the architecture of your church.
But I can be eclectic, so it wouldn't bother me.
I look forward to seeing lots more photos. Do like I've done and pick a day on which your goal is to post a photo of something. That's how I get it done.
Good show!
Guess I need to dig out the photos of Christ Church windows I took several years ago for the website that no longer exists.
I like the sculpture but I can understand why some don't. Besides being "modern", it is Mary. Sometimes that reeks of Romans. Church people are so weird!
Jay~~ Lovely!!
OK, I'm waiting! Where's more?!?
By the way, did you go to my blog and see our second gargoyle? It's even more creepy than the first.
