Perhaps one of the most beautiful statues I have ever had the opportunity to photograph is right here at the St. Francis Borgia Catholic Church. The bronze full figure representation of Rachel is a shepherdess. Here name meaning of 'ewe', a female sheep, a symbol of prosperity and security for nomadic people. The rich copper skin tones of Rachel are absolutely stunning and with variations of hue, saturation, and shade the linen stola she wears drapes in various arched ways to possibly portray the gravity of her ordeals. The engraved plaque reads: In Memory of All Innocent Victims of Abortion "Rachel mourns her children; she refuses to be consoled because her children are no more." Jeremiah 31:15
You can tell from the expression on the statue of Rachel that her sorrow runs deep as she seems lost with a gaze upon her face that looks like her thoughts are on an axis of either recall or projection or perhaps both. This is all taking place at the base of the churches stairs in which the churches brick construction serves an outstanding backdrop for her.
So bring your camera to Cedarburg and be sure to visit the outstanding architecture of the other outstanding temples of various faiths.
Watch your speed, the roadway signs call for reduced acceleration and there are more police around every corner than I care to engage with. This is why I bring my camera.
