Very weird statue, very flat and terribly difficult to get a good shot of.
Noisy background and this was the best I could get.

The newest (and most controversial) statue called "The Human Link" at Presbyterian College.

In the Mexico City Cathedral I came across this interesting statue.
A google search says this: Regis University-Colorado college with campus-based and online programs
134. Santa Rita de Casia (Saint Rita of Cascia)
Lived: 1381-1457
Feast day: May 22
Patronage: of girls in need of husbands, of marriage, of mothers, of those in bad marriages, of all who must bear suffering; for the impossible; against sickness. There was a fear that too great a devotion to Santa Rita might bring a woman both the virtue of patience and a bad husband to help her exercise it. Rita probably also had penitential associations. By her parents' wish, she married a man who turned out to be a bad husband; became a nun when he and her two sons all died; had mystical experiences during one of which a thorn from Christ's crown pierced her forehead.
Wearing a nun's habit, holding a cross and a skull, occasionally with a wound on her forehead or the full stigmata.
