This image depicts the city of Goiás, a historical city known for its vibrant cultural and religious life, a place that I have many childhood memories of. “Sou a pedra que se prende a tua casa” (I am the stone that sustains your house) is an adapted verse from the Brazilian poet Cora Coralina, natural of Goiás. The stones form the city landscape and streets, and it points to Christ as the sustainer of all life and his church, as a reference to Matthew 16:18.
