HOW TALL IS YOUR LORD?

Poland is building the world's tallest Jesus statue.  It will stand 167 feet tall.

Currently, the world's tallest Jesus statue is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  It stands 125 feet tall.

It should be noted that the actual Jesus stood 5 feet 10 inches tall*.

(*as measured by the shroud of Turin.  However, the Jewish historian Josephus had Jesus at 135 cubits, or 4' 6".  But by another measure of the cubit, the same estimate would make Jesus 5' 1" tall.)
