HOMELESS JESUS LOCATIONS
Toronto St. Paul 2018 Bloor St. E
Toronto Metropolitan United 2026
Metropolitan United has been gifted a remarkable piece of artwork by the world renowned artist Timothy Schmaltz. Schmaltz has sculptures placed in sacred and public sites all around the world, and for many, is most well known for his "homeless Jesus" series. The piece that we are receiving is part of a series on Isaiah 58 and is entitled "Sheltering", which evokes themes of support, comfort and protection offered by the Holy Spirit. In humbling bit of symmetry, the same piece, at roughly the same time, will also be placed at the Cathedral in Odesa in Ukraine.
While the world-famous "Homeless Jesus" series shows a figure on a bench, this specific piece is part of a series related to Isaiah 58 and is titled "Sheltering". It evokes themes of support, comfort, and protection.
A man kindly moved from where he was sitting so I could take these photos.
He is painfully thin.
