    The sculpture was commissioned by the Jewish-Christian Dialogue Committee. The sculpture commemorates the Palm Sunday service of March 23, 1986, during which Bishop Howard J. Hubbard of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, asked forgiveness for centuries of anti-Semitic church teachings. The sculpture cost approximately $30,000 and was paid for through private donations.
