Bombs destroyed a cathedral in World War II. A statue of Christ the Good Sheperd, with his arms outstretched fell forward, shattering the hands. The first idea was to get a renowned sculpter to repair it. However when the rebuilt cathedral re-opened, there were still just shattered stumps at the wrists. But there was a new inscription on the plinth: "He has no hands but yours."
