10 St. Peter’s Catch Relief in Helsinki, Finland

This bas-relief portrays the story from the New Testament of Luke, chapter 5:1-11. After Jesus preaches to a group of empty-handed fishermen, He instructs Simon to recast their nets. Their catch is so plentiful their boat almost sinks. After this miracle, Peter, James and John became His first disciples. Pietarin Kalansaalis was created by Carl Wilhelms in 1951. The artwork is displayed on the wall of Meritullin Seurakuntatalo, the parish house of Meritulli. The fishermen carving appropriately faces the harbor.
