One of the world’s most recognizable Catholic symbols has been restored and re-inaugurated for the world to see again. Christ the Redeemer statue, one of the Seven Worlds of the World, sits perched on the Corcovado Mountain overlooking Rio de Janiero. It had been undergoing repairs for water, nearly 80 gallons, that seeped inside the base chapel and caused damages. The statue was also reinforced to withstanding lightning strikes.
A mass was held for the re-inauguration led by the Bishop of Rio de Janiero, Dimas Lara Barbosa. The statue was originally built in 1931 and took 9 years to construct.
