Video - Israel okays giant Jesus statue in Nazareth - Israel - jn1.tv: "While Christians from around the world flock to the Holy Land for the Christmas season, the faithful in Nazareth hoping to reaffirm the roots of their religion in their city got a boost from Israel’s tourism minister who gave the green light to a proposal to build a 100-foot-tall statue of Jesus in the northern Israeli town.

The statue is the idea of one man, a Christian merchant who lives in Nazareth who has seen the demographics of his town shift considerably in recent years from Christian to Muslim. Inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, his plan is to build the statue atop nearby Mount Precipice."
