In a remarkable fusion of faith and architecture, construction has begun in the village of Konotopa on what will soon become Europe’s largest statue of Mother Mary, standing an astounding 55 meters high — surpassing even Rio de Janeiro’s famous Christ the Redeemer.
The initiative, funded by renowned Polish entrepreneur Roman Karkosik, represents more than just a feat of engineering. It is a spiritual landmark — a testament to Poland’s enduring devotion to the Virgin Mary, who holds a deeply revered place in the nation’s Catholic faith.
Once completed, this monumental statue will depict Mother Mary with open arms, symbolizing peace, compassion, and divine protection. The project aims to inspire hope and serve as a place of reflection for visitors from around the world.
Local church leaders and residents have expressed pride and gratitude for this project, calling it “a gift of faith for future generations.”
“This isn’t merely a monument,” said a local priest. “It’s a reminder that faith can rise even higher than stone.”
With construction already underway, the statue is expected to become a spiritual beacon, drawing pilgrims, tourists, and art enthusiasts alike to Konotopa — reinforcing Poland’s reputation as one of Europe’s most devoted and faith-filled nations.
When complete, the monument will stand as a global emblem of love, resilience, and unity — a towering testament to the power of belief.
💙🙏 A symbol not just for Poland — but for every heart that believes.
