Christ the Redeemer

Whether you are a native Brazilian or a tourist, you probably have heard of Christ the Redeemer, one of the world's most famous landmarks. As the name implies, the statue is the representation of Christianity and is a symbol of peace and love. It is located on the Corcovado mountain in Tijuca Forest National Park, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro.

Christ the Redeemer Rio De Janeiro

In 1920, a Catholic group in Brazil petitioned the government to erect the statue. The group wanted to include a religious emblem in the design of the city. The proposed design depicted Christ holding a cross and a globe. In order to make the statue as beautiful as possible, the group decided to use light-coloured soapstone from the Ouro Preto quarry in Minas Gerais, eastern Brazil.

Christ the Redeemer is made from 6 million soapstone tiles. The statue stands on a 26-foot pedestal and weighs 635 metric tons. It has been listed as one of the seven wonders of the world.

The statue was constructed in the Art Deco style, and is considered the largest Art Deco-style structure in the world. The statue is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone.

The statue was originally modeled with a different pose, but it was eventually decided to sculpt Christ with open arms. The final pose was designed by Brazilian artist Carlos Oswald.

It took nine years to complete the statue. The work was completed in 1931. Christ the Redeemer is considered one of the seven New Wonders of the World. The statue has been a cultural icon in Brazil, and it is also widely recognized for its beauty and outstanding structure. The statue attracts close to two million visitors annually. Christ the Redeemer is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro, and is a symbol of Brazilian Christianity.

The statue is covered with prayers written by the people who helped create it. In fact, Christ the Redeemer is a sanctuary, meaning it is protected by the Catholic Church. However, Christ the Redeemer is not immune to lightning strikes. On average, it gets struck six times a year. It was struck twice in 2008, and a bolt of lightning fractured the statue's finger in 2014. The Mayor of Rio de Janeiro declared the incident a crime against the nation, and assured the perpetrators of jail time.

In 2010, Christ the Redeemer was vandalized. A house painter tagged the statue with graffiti. The mayor branded the vandalism a crime against the nation and offered a reward to catch the offender. In response, the offender was identified, and he was charged with aggravated assault.

In 2010, the statue was also repaired and renovated. A hundred people worked on the restoration, and more than 60,000 pieces of stone were used. The original stones were painted white. Some volunteers also wrote personal messages on the backs of the tiles.

Christ the Redeemer is one of the seven wonders of the world, and is one of the most prominent landmarks in Rio de Janeiro. It was included on the list of seven new wonders in 2007. The statue is located on the Corcovado Mountain, and is illuminated with green and yellow light.
