UNITED KINGDOM---Artist painted donkey statues are displayed in the "Caravan: In Peace and with Compassion" at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The exhibition featuring 25 life-size painted donkeys comes from Egypt and is the work of Western and Egyptian artists, both Muslim and Christian, who were each asked to decorate a life-size fiberglass donkey sculpted by Egyptian artist Reda Abdel Rahman.

Caravan: In Peace and with Compassion will be in the South Nave aisle of St Paul’s until September 25 and is free to visitors of the cathedral.
