Aunt Lydia's Statue Unveiling

Aunt Lydia's statue is unveiled at Ardua Hall, a rare honor for a living person. The statue depicts her with a young girl and a Handmaid, symbolizing her authority. She reflects on the passage of time and the offerings left at her feet, such as eggs and oranges, which she sometimes pockets. This event establishes her as a revered but aging figure within Gilead.
