This white marble statue of Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd is in the northwest corner of Memorial Park Cemetery. The life-sized statue depicts Christ with a shepherd's staff in his right hand and holding a lamb in his left, with three sheep at his feet.
Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity. Most Christians believe he is the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited Messiah (the Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament. The metaphor of Christ as a shepherd tending to his flock appears throughout the New Testament.
