    The story is well known: Jesus looks out from the hill of the Prinsenbos over Assent, where only bombs fell in the fields during the World War. It is an initiative of the monastery of Assent and the Venerable Lord Uydens. The local community cooperated. For example, the children of the primary school collected the iron sandstone for the foundation.

      The Heilig-Hartbeeld overlooks Assent (Bekkevoort) from the ridge of the Prinsenbos. The residents of Assent placed this image of Jesus Christ as a kind of thanksgiving, because the bombs of a heavy bombing during World War II did not fall on Assent but in the surrounding fields. The image is not protected.
