Английская Википедия:Christ Child (sculpture)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox artwork Christ Child, also known as In the Beginning or the Millennium Sculpture,[1] is an outdoor sculpture by Michael "Mike" Chapman, located under the portico of St Martins-in-the-Fields at Trafalgar Square in London, United Kingdom. The opening text from the Gospel of John is inscribed around the sculpture: "In the beginning was the word and the word became flesh and lived among us".[1] Chapman has said of the sculpture: "For the millennium I was commissioned to produce a sculpture to be placed in Trafalgar square, during Christmas prior to the celebrations. It seemed to me that a tiny life-size baby carved from stone in such an enormous environment would be the best way to remind us all of just whose birthday we were celebrating. In a 4.5 tonne block of Portland stone, this work can be found at the entrance to the church."[2] It has been called "strikingly modern".[3]
