Christ of the Ozarks, Monumental statue in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

Christ of the Ozarks is a 65.5-foot (20 m) statue of Jesus on Magnetic Mountain near Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Built by hand from steel and mortar, it shows a robed figure with arms outstretched straight to the sides, about 65 feet from fingertip to fingertip, suggesting the Crucifixion without a cross. The face and forms are simplified, with little expression.

Gerald L. K. Smith, a former organizer of Huey P. Long's Share Our Wealth movement, retired to Eureka Springs and planned a religious theme park he called "Sacred Projects". Its centerpiece, the Christ of the Ozarks, was erected in 1966 and built by hand from steel and mortar; the sculptor Emmet Sullivan had assisted at Mount Rushmore. Smith also completed a 4,100-seat amphitheater for The Great Passion Play.

The statue is the centerpiece of Gerald L. K. Smith's "Sacred Project" religious park, which includes a 4,100-seat amphitheater. There, The Great Passion Play, styled after the Oberammergau production, is performed three nights a week from late May through the end of October. Critics nicknamed the figure "Gumby Jesus" and "Our Milk Carton with Arms."

The statue stands on Magnetic Mountain above a mown lawn and a low rounded hedge, with the 4,100-seat amphitheater of The Great Passion Play on the same estate. The play runs three nights a week from the last week of May through the end of October, so summer evenings bring crowds. The figure is set back from the road and reached on foot.

The concrete construction was built with steel reinforcements designed to withstand extreme wind speeds up to 500 miles per hour (800 kilometers per hour). This stability protects the figure from tornadoes and severe storms that can occur in the region.
