Angel at the Sepulchre by Erastus Dow Palmer.
"Among the tens of thousands of markers and memorials in the cemetery, one of the most-visited, most photographed, and best-loved is the Angel at the Sepulchre, which is neither the largest nor the most ornate nor the most expensive. The 7-foot white marble monument appears to glow and possess a magnetic quality. Carved into its base are the words: "Why Seek Ye The Living Among The Dead."
