Be Welcoming

Cleveland has another Timothy Schmalz statue:  "Be welcoming". see Hebrews xiii. 2.

Schmalz is a Canadian artist, who has partnered with the Vatican (in particular with Pope Francis) in making life size sculptures touching spiritual issues.  The original of this was cast in 2019, this one is inscribed 2021. Others have been placed on routes of  pilgrimage. One is to see this a one walks left to right, and sees a change in the figure. see: https://timothypaulschmalz.com/portfolio-items/be-welcoming/
