Unveiling Europe's tallest Virgin Mary in Poland
A 55.6-meter concrete statue of the Virgin Mary, believed to be Europe's tallest, was unveiled in a rural Polish village. Consecrated during the Feast of the Assumption, the statue stands in a field and was commissioned by a local couple; it is taller than Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer but shorter than a Virgin Mary in the Philippines. The event included rose petals dropped from helicopters, and attendees included former President Lech Wałęsa. The sculpture aims to inspire spiritual reflection amid changing religious influences in Poland.
