Vargem Grande do Sul, Brazil

I wonder exactly how many places in the world have the statue of Jesus Christ....I know that everyone has the right to have their own, but you know, when there is something original, and then its replicas start appearing, it feels as if there is no originality anymore and authencity is lost....

this statue here comes from Vargem Grande do Sul, in Brazil. which from what i could understand, is a municipality of Sao Paulo...but dont take me for granted, since as usual, all sites about Brazil are in Portuguese and thats not my strong side.

So, any additional info about this one...is MORE than appreciated :)
Obrigado!
