A calming statue at the end of Wilshire Boulevard, one of my favorite streets in LA.

Iconic statue in Santa Monica ..

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.  Anyway, 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.  So, there's your history lesson for the day!

Brilliant site to mark Santa Monica. Very imposing!
