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!

Vargem Grande do Sul, Brazil

Ok, im starting to have real trouble regarding the Brazilian cards...unless its a card from some of the major places/sites in Brazil, i can barely find some extensive info in English...its all in Portuguese...and as well, im having trouble with that "do Sul" thing, which is a part of some cities...coz regarding this one, at some sites, it says "Varem Grande" at others "Varem Grande do Sul"...so which one is right? and what exactly does "do Sul" stand for? coz ive seen it as a part of some other cities as well...does it mean that its a city in the southern part of the country or im rambling nonsense?! :) And if yes, does it mean there is a city with the same name in lets say northern part as well? or would it be ok if i completely leave out 'do Sul'?
Yeah, i can hear my dear Portuguese-speaking readers laughing right now, entertained by my way of figuring out things....but really, i could use some help here :))))



As for the card itself...it says "Capela de Santo Antonio", construida em 1929, demolida em 1979....so I guess its a chapel called St. Antonio, built in 1929, and demolished in 1979......am i right??

Well, as i have already said, i couldnt provide any additional info regarding this one...so in case there is something you can share with me, please leave it in the comment...id be really thankful...or for any future cards with lack of info...feel free to take part in it...i greatly appreciate it (coz lets be honest, the lack of info is sometimes due to me being lazy... :P
