A new statue of Jesus Christ, bigger than Rio de Janeiro's famous Christ the Redeemer, has been completed in Brazil.
The new statue is 43 metres (141 feet) high compared to Rio's statue, which is 38 metres (125 feet).
It is the largest Christ statue in the world.
The new statue was sculpted by artist Markus Moura from Brazil's Ceara State.
Work on the statue began in 2019 and has been funded by local businesses in the region.
