Giant Jesus in Polandcoach bags sale report,A statue of Jesus Christ that

its builders say will be the largest in the world is fast rising from a Polish cabbage field and

local officials hope it will become a beacon for tourists.

The builders expect to attach the arms, head and crown to the robed torso in coming days, weather

and cranes permitting, completing a project conceived by local Catholic priest Sylwester Zawadzki

and paid for by private donations.

Standing on an artificial mound, the plaster and fibre glass statue will stand some 52 metres (57

yards) when completed, taller than the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer with outstretched

arms that gazes over Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Polish officials say.

The actual statue will measure 33 metres — Zawadzki has said this reflects the fact that Jesus

died at 33, according to Christian tradition — and weigh 440 tonnes.

“I’m happy because this project will bring publicity to our town, not only in Poland but also

from the global media. Other countries are showing a lot of interest,” said Dariusz Bekisz,

mayor of Swiebodzin, a town of about 21,000 people in western Poland some 100 km (60 miles) from

the German border.
