As a icon of Christianity, it has become an important icon of Brazil, with Jesus Christ appearing to open his arms wide to embrace the entire city below.

It was in 1850’s when for the first time it was recommended to make the statue of Christ on the top of Carcovado by a catholic priest named Pedro Maria Boss. The demand of the finance was sent to Princess Isabel to construct this vast religious mountain. Originally, the idea was not thought to be a very nice one. It was only in 1921, when a need and a offer of a great landmark were thought about and at last the statue was build by the catholic Circle of Rio.

During this moment, in order to increase more publicity, a team arranged an occasion for a week where helps were taken from the people and signatures were taken for those who were in favor of the making of the statue. Most of the donations came from the Brazilian Catholics. Huge suggestions were given; some suggest that the cross of the Christ should be symbolized along with Christ, or an idol of Jesus with a globe in his hands. But at last, a statue of Jesus with open arms was selected.

Construction of this religious sign took nine years to complete, starting in 1922 and finishing in 1931. The brilliance of its engineers was exposed when it was struck by lightning in February of 2008 during an electrical tempest. Several trees were felled by that tempest, but the figure was left safe, owing to the fact that it was made with a high layer of soapstone, which is a first-class insulator.
