Giant Hands in Prayer, located in Webb City, Missouri, is an impressive sight to behold. Standing at 32 feet high and weighing an estimated 220,000 pounds, these sizable civic mitts were sculpted by local artist J.E. Jack Dawson over several years. Dedicated in 1974, they serve as a spiritual focal point for both locals and visitors alike, surrounded by the City of Flags and a newly added memorial wall that recounts their history. These giant hands, made of steel and concrete, are a hidden gem in Webb City, unannounced and unexpected. While not as well-known as the giant praying hands outside of Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma, they still command attention and admiration. So, if you find yourself in Webb City, don't miss the chance to witness this unique and awe-inspiring work of art.Generated from the website
