In Swiebodzin, Poland the alleged "largest statue of Jesus" recieved its list pieces to complete the 108+ feet tall statue. A local preist was the master mind behind this beautiful statue that sits in the center of the city. Even though many of the 22,000 residents love the idea of this statue, there are a significant amount of unsatisfied citizens. The 78 year old preist said he felt as if his life duty was fulfilled when the project was complete. The preist told reports that he purposely made the statue itsself 33 meters tall which represents the 33 years that Jesus lived. However, including the Gold Crown and mount that it stands on, it stands over 167 tall. The government of Poland seemed to be happy with the placement of this statue because they feel like it will bring more tourism to the small town.
