Yesus Kase Berkat

In one of the few

Protestant-majority cities in

Indonesia

, you can find this interesting statue of Jesus looking like he’s about to take off over the sprawling city of Manado. With a 30-meter (98-foot) statue on a 20-meter (66-foot) pedestal, it is one of the largest statues of Jesus Christ in the world. (The

Christ of Vũng Tàu

in

Vietnam

clocks in at 32 meters (105 feet).)

The statue’s official name in Manado language is

Yesus Kase Berkat

or

Kristus Kase Berkat

(which translates as Jesus Blesses or Christ Blessing) It cost 5 billion Rupiah (about 540,000 dollars) to build. On the pedestal at the base of the monument you can find an inscription with the  monument´s stand is inscribed with the slogan of North Sulawesi province: “

Torang Samua Basudara

” (“we are all brothers and sisters.”)
