Poland May Have World’s Largest Jesus Statue


November 23, 2010
STV

Polish locals unveiled what may be the largest Jesus statue in the world. The statue is located in Swiebodzin, Poland. Reverend Sylwester Zawadzki created the statue. The statue stands at 108 feet tall. That is the equivalent of 33 meters. However, others say the statue sits much taller if you count the base. The Jesus statue in Rio de Janeiro is 125 feet tall. The Polish statue could be as high as 167 feet depending on where the measurement is started.

The reverend that came up with the statue chose the height to specifically match the meters with the number of years Christ lived.

However, many seem more interested in gaining notoriety for having the highest statue. The Jesus statue is also wearing a crown, which adds to the height.

However, Reverend Zawadzki is content with the 33 meters of the statue itself. The recently completed statue has attracted tons of tourists to the small community.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
