Installed in 2005 by sculptor Josep Maria Subirachs, this bronze sculpture of the risen Jesus Christ is covered in gold leaf. It sits high above the Passion Façade on a bridge between the two central bell towers of the basilica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain.

This image was taken in Barcelona, Spain, of the Sagrada Família’s bronze doors on the western Passion Façade featuring sculpted text from the Gospels.  The doors were designed by sculptor Josep M. Subirachs and completed in 2000.  Pope Benedict XVI consecrated Sagrada Família in 2010 and proclaimed it a minor basilica.

This was sculpted in 1889 by Norwegian artist Stephan Sinding. Given the way the world is at present this could almost be a scene today. Enough said.

Have a peaceful weekend dear reader.

This is one of two matching sculptures which stand on each side of the river. They emanate angelic sounds like a choir singing even at this early hour (04:30am) of the morning. In the fog it seems very alien.
