Dignity Memorial Gardens is a large cemetery in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Found at the intersection of Academy Blvd and Airport Rd, this cemetery is relatively new, having been established in 1952. The central feature of the "Garden of the Good Shepherd" is a larger-than-life white marble statue depicting Christ as the Good Shepherd, seated, robed and with a shepherd's crook, and with sheep at his feet and a lamb in his arms.
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.
