At St Patrick’s Cathedral, the largest permanent artwork commisioned in its 146-year history is a plea for acceptance and community at a difficult timeIn the neo-gothic splendor of New York’s St Patrick’s Cathedral, a throng of today’s immigrants – mostly Latino, Asian, and Black – pause on a hillside slope with their humble sacks and bags. A man in a T-shirt cradles an infant, a kid in sneakers sits glumly in the foreground. Overhead in the towering clouds, the Lamb of God stands on a white altar amid the clustering gleam of golden pendulous stripes evoking the presence of God.The scene, humane and magnificent, is a part of what is perhaps the most significant new piece of public art in today’s riven America.
