On November 21 the tallest statue of Jesus Christ in the world will be opened. The statue is 36 m high, which is 3 meters higher than the statues of Jesus Christ in Bolivia and Brazil. But the record was set due to a 3-meter crown, as all three statues of Jesus measures 33 meters- one meter for each year of Christ's life. The statue will be standing on a 17- meter hill in the western part of Polish city Swiebodzin, which is located near the Polish-German border.

Father Sylvester Zawadzki, who offered the design of the statue, said, that he proposed the idea to build a statue of Christ taller than any other in the world five years ago. Initially, the father Zawadzki wanted "a small garden sculpture", but his ambitions have grown over time to "record size". Some construction experts give for statue a short life because weak foundation.
