A Taste of Hong Kong Lasallian Heritage
Carving of St.La Salle and Two Children
Artist :Unknown
It's a pity we do not know the creator of this lovely piece. I get the impression that it has a Filipino artist’s touch.
A somewhat youthful-looking La Salle stands behind two students, one perhaps a Primary boy in shorts and the other an older secondary school student. La Salle is protecting them with his mantle and his hands.
Each student carries a book with the younger one in the process of reading. La Salle himself placed great emphasis on the importance of reading.
The uniforms of the students have badges attached, showing the star and chevrons which are common to Lasallian schools throughout the world.
If you want to view this work of art, you may have to get permission of a Brother resident!
