The church leaders believe that their ‘King of Kings Statue’ is the World’s Largest Christ (or at least the World’s Largest half-buried Messiah) and have submitted it for consideration in the Guinness World Records. This sculpture is located in Ohio, United States at the Solid Rock Church. To complete this 62 feet tall and 1600 lbs statue over 8000 hours of effort were put in development and installation. As I know the biggest statue of Jesus Christ is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where the Christ of Redeemer stands to 130 feet tall and weighs 1 400 000 lbs.

The local residents have given many nicknames to this statue such as “Giant Jesus”, “Touchdown Jesus” and “Drowning Jesus”. If you are planning a visit to this Solid Rock Church someday, don’t forget your football ball!

These pictures below are the magnificent views of the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière, France. The Roman Catholic have dedicated this basilica to its patron saint; the Virgin Mary. The development of Lyon’s basilica started in 1972 by the architect Pierre Bossan. Its unusual design draws from a variety of architectural influences such as the Gothic cathedrals, the Romanesque architecture and naturalism. From the floor to the ceiling the basilica is richly decorated with gold to show the Church’s wealth and power. At that time whether the Roman Catholic is rich or powerful is another question! It took 4 years to build this richly decorated basilica.

At certain times, members of the public may access the basilica’s northern tower for a spectacular 180-degree view of Lyon and its suburbs. Eating in one of the restaurants in Lyon is a reason enough to come to this French city. Bon Appétit! (French for ‘Enjoy your meal!’)
