Very interesting sculpture. Unusual that he seems to be holding the dove in his hands.

@desertaura @ilovelenses just found out more about this sculpture. It represents the child receiving the Holy Spirit at Baptism

Beautiful sculpture- and the church in the background looks like it was quite beautiful too. I'm sure there were several pieces of art there that had a great deal of symbolism. There usually is in these sanctuaries. Nicely captured.
