Cea mai înaltă statuie a Fecioarei Maria din Europa a fost ridicată într-un sat din Polonia

A 55-meter statue of the Virgin Mary has been erected in Konotopie, Poland, becoming the tallest of its kind in Europe. The statue will be blessed on August 15, despite ongoing construction. Funded by billionaire Roman Karkosik, the project costs around 100 million Polish zlotys. Local authorities hope it will boost the economy by attracting pilgrims. While some tourists express excitement, others question the investment's economic viability, suggesting funds could have been better spent on healthcare or social services. Poland is experiencing rapid secularization, with a decline in declared Catholics.
