[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 307510, member: 12257"] Across the street, there was Saint Joseph Cathedral, the oldest parish in Oklahoma City, and it was badly damaged from the bombing as well, and soon after was demolished. On the third anniversary of the bombing, the church erected a memorial of its own. A statue of Jesus stands with his back to the memorial park, his head bowed, and a hand covering his face. An inscription on the base reads, "And Jesus Wept". Simply stated, it was built to show that even Jesus was horrified and saddened by this act of violence.
