Comments

  • Hosts an 11' marble statue of Jesus, having as backdrop an out-of-scale firmament where the Earth and Saturn are about 10 Earth-diameters apart, and surrounded by clouds.
  • The statue is a replica of the Christus statue by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. It is all white and quite pretty. The idea is to be able to picture Jesus as the creator of all things.
  • It's strange how supposed witnesses of Jesus depict him has a blond white man.
