Lebanon has just installed one of the largest statues of Jesus Christ the Redeemer in the Middle East, rising from the Mountain of the Cross in El Qaa.
On March 14 the project reached a defining moment with the installation of the statue’s head.
Even as tensions and bombardments continue in the region, construction has pushed forward, driven by the determination of the local community.
Standing on the hills of Lebanon, the figure of Christ will watch over the valley with a simple message to the world: hope still rises.
