I find it "interesting" that Jenny & Dave profess to be Christians, but they made fun of the statue of the woman in the fountain. Anyone who knows the Bible would recognize her as Rebekah, who became the wife of Isaac. It was obvious to me since the previous owner of the home had a stained glass insert in the front door that highlighted "Mary & Elizabeth" (meeting in the village of Ein Kerem, where Elizabeth lived). Some artistic representations have Rebekah carrying the water jug on her head, but according to the verse from the book of Genesis, she carried the water jug on her shoulder, exactly like the statue that was in the fountain in the front of that house. I think it would have been nice if they had just taken the statue to someone who could properly restore it and put it back into the fountain.
See Genesis 24 for the full story, but especially verses 15-20:
15 Before he had finished speaking, there was Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, coming out with her water-jar on her shoulder. 16 The girl was very fair to look upon, a virgin whom no man had known. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up. 17 Then the servant ran to meet her and said, ‘Please let me sip a little water from your jar.’ 18 ‘Drink, my lord,’ she said, and quickly lowered her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink. 19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, ‘I will draw for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.’ 20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels. 21 The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey successful.
