Retired firefighter's "Brotherhood 9/11" sculpture honors fallen FDNY chaplain

• Burke wrote in a statement that after a night of prayer and contemplation following the 9/11 attacks, a vision came to him of Judge comforting firefighters.
• The artist worked on the piece, called "Brotherhood 9/11," over the course of 20 years, taking numerous breaks, after learning to sculpt from an artist in Sedona.

Driving the news: "Brotherhood 9/11" was on display at the Hall of Flame firefighting museum during a remembrance ceremony for the 343 firefighters who died in the attack on the World Trade Center.

• The ceremony took place in front of FDNY Rescue 4, the only one of the New York City Fire Department's five rescue trucks to survive the attacks.

Zoom in: Burke met Judge when the priest came to visit him in the hospital after he was injured in a four-alarm fire in the Bronx.

• "He was the most loving, giving person you could ever imagine," Burke told Axios.

What's next: "Brotherhood 9/11" is headed to St. Francis of Assisi, Judge's church in New York, where it'll be displayed between steel from the Twin Towers and the helmet that the chaplain wore on 9/11.
