“What’s So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding” (2024–5), an enormous 12-panel mural created in tribute to New York City immigrants and their descendants by artist Adam Cvijanovic, was unveiled on Thursday morning. Tucked into crowds of immigrants of various ethnicities portrayed by the artist, figures of New York City’s Catholic history peer out. An unveiling ceremony was held for the press at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Thursday. This event was remarkable, Dolan shared, because it occurred within the same year St. Patrick’s Cathedral was dedicated. The lamb portrayed in the Lamb of God also came from New Jersey, the artist quipped.
