Be Not Afraid (Pope John Paul II) – In 1978, Pope John Paul II became the first non-Italian pope in more than 400 years. A vocal advocate for human rights, John Paul often spoke out about suffering in the world. He held strong positions on many topics, including his opposition to capital punishment. A charismatic figure, John Paul used his influence to bring about political change and is credited with the fall of communism in his native Poland. In 1981, an assassin shot John Paul twice in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City. Fortunately, he was able to heal from his injuries and soon forgave his attacker. Pope john Paul died in Italy in 2005. It was announced in July of 2013 that he would be declared a saint in April of 2006. This beautiful bust of Pope John Paul has exquisite detail in his robe and facial expression, and beautifully portrays his warmth and gentle devotion to the Savior.
