Homeless Jesus


Homeless Jesus statue by Timothy Schmalz in front of Regis College in downtown. It renders Jesus as a homeless person sleeping on a bench with crucifixion marks on his feet. It is described as a visual representation of a passage from the New Testament which says "as you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me".

After its installation here in 2013, it became hugely popular and now more than 100 copies of the statue are on display throughout the world including the Papal Office of Charities in Rome.
