SWIEBODZIN, Poland -- A gigantic statue of Jesus that Poles claim is the world's largest rose majestically above a small town on Saturday, as the grandiose dream of a local priest finally came to pass.

Local businesspeople hope the monument, which was completed on Nov. 6, will attract tourists and pilgrims and give the area an economic boost. But some Poles accuse the priest who created it of megalomania and say its grandiosity violates Christ's spirit of humility.
The statue itself is 108 feet (33 meters) high — one meter for every year Jesus lived. A golden crown adds two more meters, while a huge mound it sits on takes the whole height to just over 167 feet (51 meters).
I actually prefer this. It looks like a mutant beetle rising from a swamp.
