Church of the Holy Child Entrance
George Ignatius Lovatt Sr. (Architect),
1928
* unlabeled (and therefore tenuously identified) statues of David,
Jesus,
Saint John,
Joseph,
Saint Luke,
Saint Mark,
Mary,
Saint Matthew
and
Solomon
* standing
people,
Christian symbols and words,
headgear,
books and scrolls,
staff
* The statues are unlabeled. Mary and Jesus are obvious. I'm guessing that the 4 statues to the left of the Holy Child over the entrance are based on the lineage in Matthew's Gospel and are David, Solomon, Joseph and Mary, and that the 4 to the right are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I have no idea who the additional women around Mary and Jesus are at the top.

(This is the House of God and the Gate of Heaven)
