Review:
Christ of the Ozarks is an iconic statue of Jesus Christ that stands 1500 feet above Eureka Springs. The intricately carved statue was built entirely by hand. The artist poured 24 layers of white mortar over a steel frame to complete the 67-foot-tall piece of art.
The foundation of the statue consists of 340 tons of concrete supported by steel. Christ of the Ozarks is one of the main attractions that visitors enjoy seeing during the Great Passion Play, an annual performance that depicts the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead, Christ's entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, his crucifixion, and his resurrection. Thousands of visitors attend the play each year.
