Lego Jesus

I thought my nephew had every Lego ever made but this statue takes the cake.
Members of the congregation donated nearly 30,000 Lego bricks to build the 5ft 8 high statue, said Per Wilder, the pastor of the Oensta Gryta Church (presumably not made of Legos) in Vaesteras, about 70 miles west of Stockholm.
Finished just in time for the Easter holiday, the work began a year and a half ago.
The model was based on the Danish sculptor, Bertel Thorvaldsens's, 19th century work 'Christus', which depicts the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

  1. Boy you have been busy entering
    things on the blog. Lets see-
    the horses I had seen on CNN
    this a.m. Don't think dad would
    have taken the time to have his
    done. As for the shamans---
    are you one of 188 that have
    entered? If not, there still might
    be time. Am sure you can find a
    dead animal some place. The
    chocolate deal might work. Maybe
    I should send for one????? As for
    the lego's, don't think Zachie
    would have the time or effort to
    do quite such a project. Am sure
    it is neat seeing it in person
    tho. Lots of work. . .. . More
    than I'd ever think of doing.
