"The recently restored St. Jan's Cathedral in the Dutch city of 's-Hertogenbosch (hortened to 'Den Bos'), boasts an unusual statue. Sculptor Ton Mooy spent 14 years carving some 40 new statues for the cathedral's exterior. While most of them are the standard fare adorning age-old churches, Mooy couldn't resist adding a modern version: an angel with a mobile phone. "The church leaders took some convincing, but in the end, they went for it." he says. A small replica of the statue can be purchased via
ben-engel.nl."
