None more so than when this sculpture came into view. It's titled Pieta (which means "Passion," the old term for Jesus' suffering and crucifixion). Mary holds her Son. The world has a way to be made right with God. Stunning.

I was 17 when I saw this magnificent piece. Awed at how a master sculptor could make stone look like skin and purest emotion. Moved to tears at the sight . Ginny's photo is powerful and beautiful.
