This majestic, literary work of art, is a symbolism of the "Jeremiah Children Bronze".
It was written by cousin to the Artist / Author.....Catherine Nassif Payvandi.
Her scriptural description of these Heroic Children, reaches far beyond words and touches viewer's hearts with recognition and the ever lasting Holy essence of love. I thank her, unceasingly for writing it as a monument to them.
