CWN Editor's Note: The Archdiocese of New York has announced that the largest single work of art to grace St. Patrick’s cathedral—a painting that will cover three walls of the entrance vestibule—will be unveiled in September.
The mural by Adam Cvijanovic, entitled What’s So Funny about Peace, Love, and Understanding, commemorates the appearance of Our Lady at Knock, Ireland, while including a number of prominent figures from the history of Catholicism in New York, including St. Frances Cabrini, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, Pierre Toussaint, Dorothy Day, and Archbishop John Hughes, who began the construction of St. Patrick’s cathedral.
