Tallest statue of Christ

Manado, capital of Protestant-majority North Sulawesi province in eastern Indonesia, now has the tallest statue of Christ in Asia, thanks to a top Indonesian real-estate developer.
The 30-meter-tall statue of Jesus with upraised hands stands on a 32-meter-high hill named Royal Highland in CitraLand Estates, Winangun, southern Manado. Ciputra is both the developer of CitraLand Estates and the designer of the statue he calls the "Jesus Blessing Monument."
The Christ statue is said to be Asia's tallest, three meters taller than the statue of Christ the King outside Dili. Worldwide, only the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which stands 39.6 meters tall, is known to be taller.
The monument's stand is inscribed with the phrase Torang Samua Basudara, the province's slogan, which means "we are all brothers and sisters," in the local dialect. It was built at a 20-percent angle.
Ciputra, 76, a Protestant engineer who graduated from the city's Catholic-run Don Bosco Senior High School, said at the statue's inauguration that the tilt symbolizes the Resurrection and how Jesus blesses his disciples before ascending to heaven.
