The Head of Christ, also called the Sallman Head, is a 1940 portrait painting of Jesus of Nazareth by American artist Warner Sallman(1892–1968). As an extraordinarily successful work of Christian popular devotional art,[1] it had been reproduced over half a billion times worldwide by the end of the 20th century.[2] Enlarged copies of the work have been made for churches, and small pocket or wallet-sized prayer cards bearing the image have been mass-produced for private devotional use.[1][3] The painting is said to have "become the basis for [the] visualization of Jesus" for "hundreds of millions" of people.[4][5]

Not only was Sallman’s Christ in every church it was in the same place in every church, on the East wall, across from the pulpit.

The attendance count was on the West wall, and behind the pulpit located left of the congregation, was  a Christian flag and American flag on two poles.

But always, on the far north wall, was a simple Christian cross.
