The beautiful thing about art is that it can speak to people no matter their language or nationality. And Christus statues are definitely powerful examples of the way art can unite people no matter where they come from.
From Brazil to France and Vietnam to the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, Christus statues have served as powerful reminders to millions of the love Christ has for us and His great atoning sacrifice on our behalf.
