Evangelist Billy Graham now stands immortalized in the U.S. Capitol.
After nearly a decade of persistent efforts by North Carolina lawmakers, Graham's statue finds its place, reflecting his profound impact on American society.
Crafted by a North Carolina artist, the statue captures Graham in a moment of reflection, cradling an open Bible—a symbol synonymous with his unwavering commitment to sharing the Gospel. Inscribed at the base are the poignant verses, John 3:16 and John 14:6, encapsulating the essence of his life's work.
"He believed the Bible cover to cover. Our family is honored that our earthly father will be here in this Capitol pointing future generations to our heavenly father and his son the Lord Jesus Christ," said his son, the Reverend Franklin Graham.
