This is a beautiful sculpture of Jesus and several children, located on Broadway in Downtown Edmond, in front of Sacred Heart Catholic Gifts. It is one of many pieces of art placed around town by the Edmond Visual Arts Commission partnering with local businesses and individuals. This one (along with the Moses sculpture) caused an uproar from citizens who didn't want taxpayer money spent on religious figures. It was purchased by the individuals listed on the plaque (included in the photo gallery).
