This colossal St Christopher sculpture is 3.2 metres in height and weighs just under a ton.
Described as a ‘Historical Moment,’ the imposing larger-than-life bronze statue of St Christopher was installed recently in mid June 2022 and officially blessed in the last Sunday in June by Archbishop Christopher Prowse.
The event’s unique nature was not lost on those who attended – an Archbishop named Christopher blessing the St Christopher statue outside a Cathedral named after St Christopher.
St. Christopher is one of the most popular saints, and his intercession is petitioned by travellers, soldiers, sailors, those caught in storms, and transportation workers. He no longer has a universally celebrated feast day in the Roman Calendar but is remembered by many local churches.
Alan Somerville has created several sculptures in Canberra, including the First World War Digger on Anzac Bridge and pieces currently housed in the Australian War Memorial.
