What you see on the sculpture in detail is Christ risen among 117 Holy Vietnamese Martyrs. 
We picked 8 of the 117 and made their face larger. One of these 117 Martyrs is a woman.  The back ground is a few significant places in Vietnam, plus Our Lady of Lavang, the mission boat, etc... Around the frame are the tools/weapons that were used to torture these men and woman. These 117 Martyrs were canonized by pope John Paul the 2nd in 1988, which is exactly 30 years ago.
On the very bottom center of the sculpture you can see our VIetnamese community logo of St. Peter (the pope hat and the keys of heaven) to the left of it is the medal of St. Catherine Laboure.  
This sculpture is truly custom made for our church only. 

An translated version of the video is forthcoming.
