Statue of Jesus Christ, Religious statue on Mount Hatis, Armenia
The white Statue of Jesus Christ rises above Mount Hatis in Kotayk Province, marking the landscape with a prominent religious symbol at 2500 meters elevation.
The statue project initiated in 2022 emerged from a competition where sculptor Armen Samvelyan's design received the most votes through public SMS voting and jury selection.
Located in Armenia, the first nation to adopt Christianity as its state religion, this monument represents the continuing influence of Christian heritage in the region.
Visitors reach the statue through mountain paths from Kotayk Province, with spring and autumn offering the most suitable conditions for the ascent.
The construction process involves extensive documentation and approvals from local authorities, considering environmental factors and the preservation of existing historical monuments in the area.
