I guess there are no more saintly real people anymore that one could make a statue to memorialize. I get it.

How long before they’re bowing down to these figures?

How cute. Apparently this church must have lots of money to throw away on gimmicks to attract people.

I think this is great!
Many churches of that era are decorated with characters from folklore or local stories. I have always seen Narnia as a Christian allegory which would make it very appropriate.
The sculptures also seem to look very finely crafted and beautiful.
I’d rather see Aslan than some twisted dwarf or obscene figure.
