The people shown shown with the statue of Jesus seem tiny, revealing its enormous size.
It is a labor of love from a Polish priest. “I have never been as happy as I am today,” said Father Zawadzki, who is called ‘the builder priest’ by the people of Swiebodzin after building two churches, this statue, and several other buildings in the town.
“This is the culmination of my life’s work as a priest. I felt inspired to fulfill Jesus’ will, and today I give thanks to him for allowing me to fulfill his will,” Father Zawadzki said after the head was attached by a 700-ton crane. (from article from World Record Adademy")
The Guinness Book of World Records identifies it as the largest statue of Jesus.
