Members of the congregation donated nearly 30,000 Lego bricks to build the 5'8" high statue
Members of the congregation donated nearly 30,000 Lego bricks to build the 5'8"u00a0statue, said Per Wilder, the pastor of the Oensta Gryta Church in Vaesteras.
"This work began a year and a half ago so we saw that the initiation date was fitting in well (with this year's Easter holiday)," he said.
"It is a fantastic installation and it will be there as long as we think it is in a good spot."
The model was based on the Danish sculptor, Bertel Thorvaldsens's, 19th century work 'Christus', which depicts the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The pastor said the statue would remain permanently at the church and there were no plans to sell it to raise funds.
