Photos of Jesus Christ Statue

The citizens of Vietnam were deeply influenced by the colonial rule of the past, and Catholicism played a pivotal role in Vietnam. The Jesus statue located on the Yingshan Ridge of Jesus Mountain in Vung Tau City is the same as the Jesus statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a rare large-scale Jesus statue in the world. The statue was built by the United States in 1971 during the Vietnam War, and the statue was also intended to protect the city of Vung Tau.
