There are many large statues of Jesus all over the world. The most special one I have ever visited is located in Romania, called:

Heart of Jesus Statue

Sulptutor: Walter Zawaczky

Year: 2011


Heart of Jesus Statue, Romania.

“ The 'Heart of Jesus' look-out is a work of art in the form of a statue depicting Jesus Christ, located on the outskirts of Farkaslaka (Lupeni) a village in Harghita County, Transylvania. The stainless steel 22-meter-high statue can be found on top of Gordon Hill (some 953 meters above sea level), it is the highest statue in Eastern Europe, representing Jesus Christ. The statue was designed by the sculptor Walter Zawaczky, erected in December 2011.

The work has received numerous criticisms, mainly because of its enormous size and appearance, dividing the opinions of locals and press alike. According to some opponents, the metal sculpture is completely alien to the surrounding landscape and Szeklers* tradition; perhaps in keeping with local materials, stone or wood would have been a more appropriate choice of materials. Some have named the statue 'The Tin of Christ', which is perhaps a more negative evaluation; although many feel the creation emanates a truly religious experience. Many supporters of the statue think it will make for a great tourist attraction, and in time it will be considered a landmark synonymous to the area. *subgroup of the Hungarian people living mostly in the Székely Land, an ethno-cultural region in eastern Transylvania. ”

It is said that the proprietor of his local Gordon Milk Factory was behind the funding of this statue. He wanted to leave something behind but died shortly after this was built.


The locals want to use this sculpture as a tourist attraction and revitalize the local economy. However, the mountain road leading to this statue is in poor condition. It is difficult to reach there by ordinary small vehicles, which took us quite a while to walk there. Because of lacking publicity and bad road conditions, this sculpture has still rarely been visited so far.


Within the sculpture's body, a central spiral staircase leads to the statue's head, from where you can look out on beautiful landscape vistas.

It was late at night when we arrived at the statue of Jesus Christ. We climbed the spiral staircase inside the statue to reach its head at the top. There was a clear and beautiful Milky Way over the sky that night, and standing there looking at it, a huge sense of absurdity hit me. My mind melted.

일정이 바쁜 사람도 자신에게 맞는 시간대를 확인할 수 있도록 정보가 잘 정리되어 있어 참고하기 좋습니다. 찾는다면 근무 시작과 종료 시간을 먼저 확인하고 밤알바 업무내용, 급여, 교통편까지 함께 비교하는 것이 필요하며, 자신의 생활 리듬을 고려한 선택이 중요해 보입니다.

편안한 휴식을 위해 꼭 먼 곳까지 이동할 필요가 없다는 점에서 방문형 서비스의 장점이 눈에 띕니다. 원하는 공간에서 관리 시간을 가질 수 있어 이동에 대한 부담을 줄여줍니다. 일정이 빠듯한 날에도 효율적으로 활용할 수 있고 집이나 숙소에서 출장마사지 편안하게 휴식을 이어갈 수 있어 시간 관리 측면에서도 유용합니다.

처음 이용했는데 상담이 친절하고 진행 속도가 빨라서 만족스러웠어요. 중간 과정도 상품권현금 자세히 안내해줘서 안심이 됐고 서비스 덕분에 급하게 필요한 자금을 편하게 마련할 수 있어 재이용 의사 있습니다.

바쁜 일정 속에서도 편안하게 휴식을 취할 수 있는 점이 인상적인 서비스입니다. 원하는 시간과 출장마사지 장소에서 이용할 수 있어 이동 부담을 줄이고, 지친 일상에서 잠시 여유를 찾는 데 도움이 되는 실용적인 선택이라고 생각합니다.
