It was feared that the massive size of the structure made it unsafe to be erected in the Polish plains in Swiebodzin.

The creator of the statue, Reverend Sylwester Zawadzki revealed that each meter of the statue corresponds to each year that Jesus Christ spent on this earth.

Reverend Zawadzki believes that the making of the statue was a divine call the he has answered and he thanked Jesus that he has been able to do it.
