Statues in Glass Houses

I was walking up Avenue B this past Saturday, when I spotted this at St. Brigid's church:

Someone wanted this statue to be outside and was afraid it would be stolen or desecrated, so they put an enormous bullet-proof shield around it. And two plants inside, to keep up the oxygen level!

It must be a pretty important statue to go to this expense to view it publicly.

Maybe it's an authentic replica of the Pietà!
