STOCKHOLM (AP) — Parishioners at a church in Sweden celebrated Easter on Sunday by unveiling a 6-foot-tall (1.8-meter-tall) statue of Jesus that they had built out of 30,000 Lego blocks.

It took the 40 volunteers about 18 months to put all the tiny plastic blocks together, and their creation shows a standing Jesus facing forward with his arms outstretched.

“I don’t care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I’ve got my plastic Jesus…”

Ah, what can’t you do with Lego?

Funny enough, I was perusing WebUrbanist and saw their examples of Lego art: Fantastic Plastic: 20 Essential Works of LEGO Art & Design - WebUrbanist

You could also illustrate the Bible.

Well, Västerås, anyway.

I see that the English translations of this story have left out the speculation on whether people are going to try to steal pieces of Jesus…
