Focus on this artwork and analyze the Use.
The Shaheen-Mestrovic Memorial, and especially the “Christ and the Samaritan Woman” statue, is used for many purposes by students and faculty on campus. During the day, students sit around the memorial. Some student groups and residence halls hold prayer services, retreat activities, reflection time, or faith meetings by the statue. In November 2016, Father John I. Jenkins, President of the University of Notre Dame, held an interfaith prayer service for the campus community in front of the statue. Held in conjunction with Notre Dame Student Government, the service sought to “support everyone affected by the recent election,” with an invitation to “join us for this service of compassion as we pray for peace and unity in our nation,” sent to all students.
