Monroe, OH (WKEF/CNN) - A giant statue of Jesus is standing 50-foot-tall along an Ohio highway.
A church in Monroe, outside Cincinnati, put the finishing touches on the massive statue Wednesday.
The new "Hug Me Jesus" statue replaces the so-called "Touchdown Jesus" or "Big Butter Jesus" that was destroyed by fire after a lightning strike two years ago.
The new Jesus was built with fire resistant materials and includes a lightning rod.
