- Wybudowanie pomnika było dla mnie powołaniem. Chrystus objawił mi się i powiedział, żebym to zrobił. Tak się stało. Kierowałem się symboliką. Sama postać Jezusa mierzy 33 metry, dokładnie tyle, ile Chrystus miał lat, gdy umarł na krzyżu - mówił wzruszony ks. Zawadzki.
Jealous?

I have a terrible feeling Jesus himself would hate it. I've always imagined him as a really cool bloke and a bit of a hippie (I guess I've read The Master and Margarita too many times). Anyways, wasn't there something about Moses and the Golden Calf in the Bible?

That aint Jesus, that Charlemagne!
Reminds me of something...

As a warszawianka, I'm just happy that this construction isn't in front of the Presidential Palace :)
Takie rzeczy to tylko w Polsce :)
I, too, think that someone such as Jesus would not especially like such figures of himself, but what can ya do?
To be fair, the statue is aesthetically pleasing. I have to admire Father Zawadzki for his drive. He was able to garner support - psychological and financial - for this project and see it through to the end. Jeez, I'd just like to make a vegetable patch in my garden and erect a pretty cool scarecrow and somehow I cannot get it done.
I'm interested to see what exactly this statue becomes for Polish people - a meeting place, a place to worship, a place to protest? We'll see.
America needs a bigger Jesus because God is looking down from space, trying to figure out who loves him the most.

His nose is way too small for a Jew.
