The figure is Шаблон:Convert tall, the crown is Шаблон:Convert tall, and along with its mound, it reaches Шаблон:Convert overall. It took 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.[1] The project was conceived and led by Шаблон:Ill, a retired Polish priest.[2] It remains the tallest Jesus statue in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records.[2][3][4]
Characteristics
The statue was built on a Шаблон:Convert embankment of stones and rubble.[5] Christ the King has a height of Шаблон:Convert, symbolising Jesus' age at his death;[6] combined with its mound and crown, it reaches Шаблон:Convert.[5] The crown of the temple is Шаблон:Convert in diameter and Шаблон:Convert in height,[1] and the whole is gilded. It weighs 440 tons. The head alone is Шаблон:Convert tall and weighs 15 tons. Each hand is Шаблон:Convert in length and the distance between the ends of the fingers is Шаблон:Convert. It is composed of concrete and fibreglass.[5][6] It is Шаблон:Convert taller than the better known statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, standing at Шаблон:Convert tall without its pedestal.
Wi-Fi antennas were discovered in the crown of the statue in 2018 by a Polish tabloid; the internet provider later stated the local church was using them as a surveillance system.[7] Afterwards, the local bishop ordered their removal before 10 May 2018.[8]
Design
The designs for various elements of the statue were produced by a number of individuals; the sculpture design was primarily produced by Mirosław Kazimierz Patecki with the technical design aspect being undertaken by Assoc. Jakub Marcinowski and Assoc. Mikołaj Kłapeć, both of whom are employees of the University of Zielona Gora. Meanwhile, elements of the clothing and the arms of the statue were designed by Tomasz Stafiniak and Krzysztof Nawojski (the latter being of the town of Świebodzin) respectively. Another resident of Świebodzin, Marian Wybraniec, was responsible for the design of the foundations upon which the statue was constructed.
The construction work was undertaken by staff employed by the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Świebodzin and included welders, locksmiths and mechanics.
Construction
On 29 September 2006, the city council of Świebodzin passed a resolution on the establishment of Christ the King.[9] The President (under the authority of the board) along with the mayor spoke to the Bishop of Zielona Góra-Gorzów Diocese. State officials also temporarily halted the project due to safety concerns. With funding from local people and as far away as Canada, the statue was completed on 6 November 2010 and was at the time the Largest Statue of Jesus Christ according to the Guinness Book of World Records.[10][3]
