Saint John the Baptist Statue
From the Saint Jean Baptiste website, number 3:
"Upon entering the main body of the church from 76th Street, one is immediately greeted by an imposing statue of the parish patron, the prophet John the Baptist. Possibly the finest sculpture in the building, it was moved to its present location from the lower church (now the Saint Jean Baptiste Community Center). The Baptist is clothed in camel's hair and holds a cruciform staff, with a lamb at his feet. John called Jesus the "Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29)."
