Time reports that local artist Heather Wise offered to help after the head of baby Jesus was knocked off and stolen from the statue outside a Catholic church in Sudbury, northern Ontario in 2015.
According to CBC many parishioners were “shocked” with the new head – while some online wags suggested it looks more like Maggie Simpson that baby Jesus.
