The casted iron statue of the Jesus Christ come from the beginning of the 19th century. Jesus is depicted here wearing a long robe, blessing with his right hand.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus statues are some of the most beautiful depictions of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In 1673, St. Margaret Mary of Alacoque received revelations of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The French nun was asked to promote widespread practice of a Holy Hour of Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament and a special commemoration of the Sacred Heart at Masses on the first Friday of each month. Since the 17th century artists have portrayed Jesus showing His loving heart to the world.
"Jesus of Nazareth (7–2 BC/BCE – 30–36 AD/CE), commonly referred to as Jesus Christ or simply as Jesus or Christ, is the central figure of Christianity. Most Christian denominations venerate him as God the Son incarnated and believe that he rose from the dead after being crucified."
