Let's All Go Hang Out at the 72-Foot-Tall Statue of Jesus in Romania

It sits at the end of a dirt road in Transylvania and you can ascend to the top and take in the surrounding countryside.

The "Heart of Jesus" is a 72-foot-tall stainless steel statue of Jesus Christ designed by the sculptor Walter Zawaczky. You can find it on the top of Gordon Hill in Harghita County, Transylvania, where it's become something of a controversy since its construction in 2012, possibly because Jesus sort of looks like Darth Vader.

Here is a link of night color photos that might explain the Darth Vader notion...

Sitting on a rocky outcrop in the middle of dense pine forest and overlooking the Mont Blanc mountain range (this is celebrated skiing territory), this 25-meter (82 feet) Christ has plenty of French panache. Inaugurated in 1933, Christ-Roi stands at an altitude of 1,200 meters (3,900 feet), towering 200 meters (656 feet) above the valley below, and is often dusted with snow in the winter months. With one arm raised towards the sun, is a dramatic sight at any time of year. There’s a small Art Deco chapel at the base, and narrow staircases leading to a viewing platform with astonishing views. The statue was built at the behest of Claude Marie Delassiat, priest of Les Houches at the time, and the architectural flourishes are the result of a collaboration between French sculptor Georges Serraz and architect Viggo Féveille. A two-ton bell, fitted in the tower at the end of WWII, still rings out over the valley today.

In the 1930s, Abbot Claude Marie Delassiat wanted to build a statue of Christ in Les Houches in homage to Pope Pius XI (real name Ambrogio Damiano Achille Ratti), author of an encyclical on Christ the King and a keen mountaineer. Encouraged by the Vatican, Abbot Delassiat collected the money needed for his project through a series of public fund-raising campaigns. After the Second World War, a two-tonne bell was added to the steeple.

Colossus of Constantine

The Colossal Statue of Constantine, originally at the Basilica Nova in Rome, is now at the Capitoline Museums
www.thebyzantinelegacy.com www.thebyzantinelegacy.com

The colossal statue of Constantine comes from the Basilica Nova in Rome, which was started by Maxentius and finished by Constantine after he defeated Maxentius in 312. This unique portrait of Constantine is one of the most important statues of Late Antiquity. It is possible that Eusebius referred to the statue in his works, the Life of Constantine and the Ecclesiastical History, which also records its inscription.
