Description: The "Homeless Jesus" sculpture is a powerful piece of public art by Canadian sculptor Timothy Schmalz. It depicts Jesus as a homeless person lying on a park bench, with the stigmata (wounds from the crucifixion) visible on his feet. The intention behind the sculpture is to draw attention to the issue of homelessness and to remind viewers of the Christian message of compassion and care for the marginalized. St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Davidson, North Carolina, is one of the places where this sculpture has been installed. The church has taken on the mission of addressing homelessness and social justice, and the "Homeless Jesus" sculpture serves as a symbol of their commitment to these causes. The sculpture has been installed in various locations around the world, and it has sparked important conversations about homelessness, compassion, and faith. It encourages people to reflect on the teachings of Jesus and consider how they can be of service to those in need.
