The Salvation Army Honors New Cadets with "Feed My Sheep" Sculptures
The Salvation Army USA commissioned the
"Feed My Sheep" sculptures to be presented to new cadets at their
induction ceremony. The cadet's name and date of their induction was
etched on a nameplate and attached to a special wood base. Two versions of
"Feed My Sheep" were created. Each sculpture depicts Jesus handing a
shepherd's staff to the new cadet, one honoring the male cadet and the
other honoring the female cadet. Previous commissions for the Salvation
Army include their founder, William Booth, as a young man kneeling in
prayer, and a heritage street scene showing a street person and a cadet
kneeling in prayer at a drum lying on its side. |
