“That's why it's not just about the migrants' cause, it's not just about them, but about all of us, about the present and the future of the human family. Migrants, especially the most vulnerable, help us to recognize the 'signs of the times'."

POPE FRANCIS

It depicts a group of migrants and refugees from different countries, religions and times; One of the men's sidelocks identifies him as a Jewish refugee, and a pregnant woman holds her hand under her stomach. Men, women and children are crowded together with few belongings on a floating base. Angel wings rise from the middle of the compact crowd, indicating the presence of the saint among the refugees.
