The Crosses at St. Joseph Hospital, Berea

Back in June we completed the installation of artwork at the renovated St. Joseph Hospital in Berea, KY. The best part of all was the installation of the ceramic crosses that were made from broken pieces of pottery by the administrators of the hospital. Each cross represents one of the precepts of the hospital: Reverence, Integrity, Compassion and Excellence. The verse says "The Lord is near to the broken hearted and makes whole their broken pieces." The symbolism of the broken pieces restored to beauty in form of a cross is a reminder to me each time I see this image.
