The statue is bigger and taller than the ones in Bolivia and Brazil which are around 33 meters excluding the pedestals.
Father Sylwester Zawadzki, who is constructing the statue said he came up with the idea to build a statue of Christ larger than any other in the world five years ago.
"My first vocation was to become a priest. My second was to build the statue," the priest told .
According to Jan Zawadzki, who is the brother of the priest and project foremen said the statue will have a total 58 meters [190 feet] high from the base and 24 meters wide at the arms.
The statue is being constructed in a four acre lot and will be visible from the A2 highway linking Warsaw and Berlin.
