The statue of Jesus The Redeemer in Brasil



had before now, maintained the title of the tallest statute of Jesus Christ in the world



Record are meant to be broken as the saying goes and the Poland Catholic priest, Rev father Sylwester Zawadski did break the record when he achieved his life long dream and ambition, to erect the now world's largest statue of Jesus, in his home country, Poland.



The statue which is located in Swiebodzin, the Western part of Poland was officially completed in 2010 with the height measuring about 33 metres - 108 ft tall while the crown on the statue is about 3 metres - 9.8 ft talladding up with its mound, the whole statue makes a total of 52.5 metres - 172 ft in height



It took about five years in total, to construct and cost around $1.5 million to build, which was collected from donations of the 21,000 residents of the town.

In Nigeria today, $1.5 million is equal to ₦622,125,637.50 i.e six hundred and twenty-two million, one hundred and twenty-five thousand, six hundred and thirty-seven naira, 50 kobos as of the time of writing this post

Idol worship ?!?

Waste of resources

It's high time people stop molding anyhow statue in the name of Jesus Christ.

What prove do they have to convince people like me, that the statue has a real look of Jesus Christ

Jesus was referring to his TEACHINGS not his LOOKS so blessed are those who never saw Jesus' looks or his miraculous performance but trusted (believes) in his wise counsels.

That's the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of what you just quoted Sir!

Pure idolatry...

Even the bible forbids graven imagery.

Let's not promote evil

Looks like a Caucasian Jesus rather than the Hebrew Yeshua

SHOWING THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BEAUTIFULLY DISPLAYED.

He Jesus, why did he break bread and say, "do this in remembrance of me"?

They who worship images are guilty of your opinion, the statue was erected for remembrance purposes I guess (my humble opinion)

Kobojunkie:

Believe that by seeing the statue, you remind self of JESUS

Jesus was talking about holy communion... Not erecting a statue in His remembrance.

You could be right tho!

At that point, bread was in His hands, but all he wanted, is that salvation be remembered by mankind through Him[and of course, His coming]
