Elena Muratori graduated from Florida’s New College as an environmental studies major, and earned an M.S. degree in counseling psychology at Florida State University. She has worked with the Florida Parks Services for over 25 years at a number of State Parks, including Oleta River State Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Her Keys community activities have included steering Pennekamp’s 50th birthday celebration and advising Coral Shores High School’s Student Peace Alliance, supporting students to get Monroe County parks designated as “peace parks” with plaques throughout the Keys.
The tale of the creation of the Christ statue and its journey from Italy to Key Largo is a long and winding one, with many side stories. Join Elena as she speaks about the difference between Christ of the Abyss and Christ of the Deep, and how this iconic symbol of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park became a part of the undersea world and the Key Largo community, attracting visitors and divers from around the globe.
