Christ Blessing Monument. Stands 50 m (158.3 ft) tall, consists of 20 m of pedestal and 30 m of statue.
It is the world's 4th tallest statue of Christ.
The statue depicts how Jesus blesses His disciples before ascending to heaven
One might not expect to find a giant statue of Christ here in Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country in the world. But Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi province, is unique with its predominantly Christian population and the statue also symbolizes the religious tolerance in this country.
Happy
