Christ the King (Polish: Pomnik Chrystusa Króla, lit. "Monument of Christ the King") is a statue of Jesus Christ in Świebodzin, western Poland. Completed on 6 November 2010 The project was conceived and led by Sylwester Zawadzki, a local retired Polish priest. It is the second tallest statue of Jesus in the world. The statue was financed entirely through donations by the local Catholic community and foreign contributors based as far away as Canada. It took five years to complete the stone and fiberglass statue, which measures 33 meters in height (108 ft) - a reference to the age of Christ when he died. The crown is 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall, and along with its mound, it reaches 52.5 metres (172 ft) overall.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Andrzej Pityński's passing. However we are left to enjoy his wonderful works. Each of his works are a lesson in history. The craftsmanship in his works are astounding, with every detail eluding to a part of the historic event depicted. He said of his works, "A monument is an expressive symbol. A good one, looked at for even a few minutes will remain in memory for years or even for one's entire lifetime. Monuments are the milestones in a nation's history -- they will not allow other systems and governments to destroy the core values of a national culture." And you can easily see why Andrzej Pityński was the 2015 Honoree of the Polish Arts Club of Trenton, NJ. I asked Andrzej what his favorite piece of work was and he quickly answered, "The Partisans." Below is a picture of his favorite work. RIP my friend. -- Ke )
