An Artist Blessed Us With This Goblin-Like Restoration Of A Beheaded Jesus Statue
Good god, y’all.
A woman was so distraught at the sight of a headless statue of baby Jesus that she offered to create a replacement. And oh my god, just look at it.

That empty gaze. That spiky crown. Those plump yet unimpressed lips.
What a blessing.

The statue sits outside Ste. Anne des Pins Roman Catholic church in Sudbury, Ontario. Jesus' head went missing last fall, according to Sudbury.com.
Paying for a new head would have costs thousands of dollars, so little Jesus has just been headless this whole time.
Local artist Heather Wise noticed the wee, headless babe and approached the church's priest, offering to craft a new one.

The clay masterpiece is just a placeholder until Wise creates a more permanent replacement. But in the meantime, it's certainly turning a lot of heads.
