Homeless Jesus - Ottawa, ON, Canada - Statues of Religious Figures on Waymarking.com

Homeless Jesus rests on a bench out front of Christ Church Cathedral (Anglican) on Sparks Street in downtown Ottawa. In addition to being the source of the text below, the website shares interesting stories concerning this sculpture.

The “Homeless Jesus” sculpture is a visual representation of Matthew 25. The sculpture suggests that Christ is with the most marginalized in our society. The Christ figure is shrouded in a blanket with His face covered with the only indication that the figure is Jesus being the visible wounds on the feet. The life-size version of the work provides enough room for someone to sit on the bench and is cast in bronze metal measuring 36”H x 84”L x 24”D.
