STOCKHOLM (AP) - Parishioners at a church in Sweden celebrated Easter
on Sunday by unveiling a 6-foot-tall (1.8-meter-tall) statue of Jesus
that they had built out of 30,000 Lego blocks.
It took the 40 volunteers about 18 months to put all the tiny plastic
blocks together, and their creation shows a standing Jesus facing
forward with his arms outstretched.
The Protestant church was filled to capacity with about 400
worshippers on Sunday when the statue went on display behind the
altar, and some of the children in the congregation couldn't help but
touch the white art work.
Church spokesman Per Wilder said the statue at the Onsta Gryta church
in the central Swedish city of Vasteras is a copy of Danish sculptor
Bertel Thorvaldsen's "Christus" statue on display in Copenhagen.
He also said that even though the statue is all white on the outside,
many of the donated Legos that the church received were of other
colors and were placed inside.
