An enormous statue of the Virgin Mary was inaugurated on Saturday in the small Polish village of Konotopie. Standing at 55.6 meters (182 feet) tall, the monument is believed to be the tallest statue of the Virgin Mary in Europe. The project was financed by one of Poland's wealthiest businesspeople.
The scale of the new monument has drawn comparisons to other major religious landmarks, specifically the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, which the new Polish structure exceeds in height.
