A massive 55.6-meter statue of the Virgin Mary, believed to be the tallest Marian monument in Europe, was officially inaugurated on Saturday in the rural Polish village of Konotopie. Privately funded as a votive offering by Polish businessman Roman Karkosik and his wife Grażyna, the sprawling concrete structure stands higher than Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Christ the Redeemer and Poland's own Christ the King in Świebodzin. Featuring a public viewing platform built inside its 15-meter crown-shaped plinth, local municipal authorities expect the landmark to transform the small central Polish community into a major international Catholic pilgrimage site and regional tourism hub. #poland #virginmary #catholic #konotopie #statue #religion #worldnews #topnews #travel #europe #architecture #breakingnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews
