Peace Fountain & Sculpture at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC.
The Peace Fountain was commissioned in 1985 by Greg Wyatt, sculptor-in-residence at the Cathedral to mark the 200 anniversary of the Diocese of New York. The sculpture depicts the struggle between good and evil, as well as a battle between the Archangel Michael and Satan. The sculpture also contains the Sun, the Moon, and several animals. Surrounding the monument is a collection of sculptures created by grade-school children, this is called the Children's Sculpture Garden. Although it is a fountain there is currently no water on the site.
The Cathedral of St. John The Divine is located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. The church site is between 110th Street & 113th Street with the main entrance at 1047 Amsterdam Ave.
The Cathedral is said to be an unfinished building as only two-thirds of the original proposed building was completed.
The Cathedral along with the Liverpool Cathedral is said to be the largest Anglican Church building in the world and is also the 6th Largest Church in the World by Area.
