    Rudy Rahme is a renowned Lebanese sculptor who never fails to amaze us with his artwork. His next project is exceptional! He will sculpt the world’s tallest statue of Jesus Christ which will be placed in 

    Bcharre

    , his hometown. https://www.instagram.com/p/BSg2fvDg-P8/ Bcharre is also the home of the famous Lebanese writer

    Gibran Khalil Gibran

    , Saint Charbel, and the Sacred Valley. The white statue will be 54 meters tall. Bcharre is a popular destination for pilgrims who visit the region mainly to see the Sacred Valley. https://www.instagram.com/p/BMOZhMYj0DR/?taken-at=237288531 In fact, early Christian communities, the Maronites being the dominant Christian group in the valley, found shelter there because they were being prosecuted by other religious groups. The valley is now the home of Father Dario Escobar, a

    Maronite monk from Colombia

    . This statue will certainly attract more pilgrims and tourists to Bcharre. Currently, the world’s tallest statue of Jesus Christ, which is approximately 36 meters tall, is located in Western Poland.
