    Almost 100 meters (315 feet) high, the statue is expected to be concluded in 2021, marking the 500th anniversary of Christianity in the Philippines
    The world’s tallest statue of the Virgin Mary is rising at Montemaria on the southernmost tip of Batangas Bay in Batangas City.

    The 322-ft. (98.15 meters) statue of Mary, the Mother of All Asia Tower of Peace, is the centerpiece of the Montemaria pilgrimage center that has drawn devotees and tourists alike.

    I suppose others here knew this before I did (having never visited Asia, but I read alot), but Asians do build huge religious statues, especially of Buddha. Occasionally a huge Kuan Yin too.

    So this doesn't surprise me.

    My husband has a half-sister born in the Philippines. Helen is very devout to our Church, even more so than husband's "full blood" family.

    Maybe I´m reading too much into it but the fact that it is supposed to be finished by 2021 might be of significance...
