The Sky Is My Witness!nPhotography by... © Sal_FerondinSaint MonicanSaint Monica, also known as Monica of Hippo, is St. Augustine of Hippo's mother. She is remembered and honored in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.nThe city of Santa Monica, California, is named after Monica
Deco at its most sublime, how can you not adore this truly understated and hugely underrated sculpture.
There's a great story behind the 18-foot-tall sculpture of Saint Monica in Palisades Park. Our city namesake, Monica, was born in 300 A.D. and shed many tears in her lifetime due to the evil deeds of her son, St. Augustine of Hippo. For these reasons, St. Monica came to represent the virtues of unconditional love, strength and patience.nnAnyway, in the 18th century a missionary named Father Juan Crespí was searching for water and discovered a natural spring. He was reminded of the tears Monica shed for her son. (The spring is still around, on the site of present day Uni High.) An art deco sculpture of Saint Monica, completed by Eugene Morahan in 1934, now stands watch over the bluffs at Palisades Park, along with a variety of other sculptures and art installations.nnSo, there's your history lesson for the day!
So pretty and unique. Located on California Ave. and Ocean Ave. In Palisades Park with the pretty bluff views of the Santa Monica beach.
