The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports the  New Albanian Cultural Garden to feature statue of Mother Teresa: Robert L. Smith’s Global Village. Smith writes, “Another saintly presence will rise in Rockefeller Park as the Cleveland Cultural Gardens make room for a new nationality group.

Albania’s favorite daughter, Mother Teresa, will anchor an Albanian Cultural Garden recently approved by the Cleveland City Council for the north end of Martin Luther King Drive.

The Albanian community plans to raise a larger-than-life statue of the late Catholic nun, who was renowned for her work with the poor of India. She will join a garden chain that already includes Mahatma Gandhi, St. Sava, Christian bishops and Greek philosophers.” Click the link to read the whole column.
