And Jesus Wept
And Jesus Wept is an outdoor sculpture installed across from the Oklahoma City National Memorial in Oklahoma City, in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The statue was erected by the Saint Joseph Catholic Church.[1] During the Oklahoma City bombing, the Parish House of the church was severely damaged and later demolished; this sculpture was erected on that site.[2]
The sculpture depicts Jesus facing away from the devastation while covering his face with his hand in disappointment. The 168 gaps on the wall represents the void left from those who lost their lives in the bombing.[3]
