You’re absolutely right. I wanted to include it here but couldn’t find a decent picture.

Can you check out the Christ Statue in Vung Tau, Vietnam. It said to be 32 meters tall and I see no one mentioned about it.

Whoa… I didn’t know that Earth is this filled with Christ’s statues.

Can we now have a moment of silence for the Bamiyan Buddhas? Thank you.

My favorite is the Christ of the Abyss in Key Largo. I hope to see it in person in a few days!

Hal,

These photos are lovely — and ecumenical! A beautiful post for what is, to many of us from many different faiths, a sacred time of year.

Thank you so much for such expressive, and respectful treatment of these holy places.

Best wishes to you,

Elaine

Those are immense statues. I’ve seen a few of them in person and they blow your mind!!! All over central america you can find smaller versions of these statues.
