Something about it really resonates within me. The description near it said that it was a fallen cross, but that it also was a symbol of the fallen body of Christ. And the supporting beam is the patron carrying Him.
Prior to this sculpture, resided a church in its place. As the city of Salvador continued to develop, the church was moved out. However, in recognition of the church's importance, they built a this sculpture in memory of the church.
Isn't it neat how a few blocks can come to mean/symbolize so much in this world?
