Easter is a fitting time to give you an update about the statue of Jesus in the Limbiķi Cemetery.
Shortly before his death, Mārtiņš expressed his wish to erect a monument in the Limbiķi Cemetery that depicts Jesus with open arms, bringing relief to the sad and heavy-hearted. In the spring of 2021, the artist Ojārs Feldbergs agreed to create this statue. He then found a suitable granite boulder and transferred the original sketch into a life-size model in clay. Despite the weight of the stone, Jesus appears to come towards us with a light step and open arms. The model is currently being cast in plaster, and Feldbergs will soon begin to chisel the statue in stone. It will be installed in the cemetery later this summer.
