The statue was carried over stiles and fences by endurance runners.<\/p>\n<p>Those walking by the statue couldn\u2019t help but stop and pose with the statue, amazed by its size and beauty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looked like it was blessing the Valleys,\u201d said Steve Bancroft, one of the men who carried the 88 pound statue up to the top.<\/p>\n<p>The statue looked very similar to the \u201cChrist the Redeemer\u201d statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and may have even appeared to be the same statue at first glance. However, the statue was from a storage unity in Cwmbran, carried by two endurance runners and their children.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, the \u201cChrist the Redeemer\u201d statue measures 38m (124ft) by 28m (91.8ft), including the pedestal that weighs 1,145 tons.<\/p>\n<p>It took the men carrying the statue an hour to reach the peak of the mountain. They had to take many stops as they were walking their way up to the end point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thought of carrying it all the way to the top was a challenge in itself,\u201d said Bancroft, one of the men who carried the statue who also uses props for themed events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe drew quite a crowd,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople were taking it in turns having their photo taken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the statue was taken down again the same day in case he blew away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was quite a blustery day, we did wonder if it was going to get blown over when we got to the top, but it was quite heavy,\u201d Bancroft added.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the friends who placed the statue on the mountain are looking for their next challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of walkers going up a mountain in Caerphilly County were amazed when they saw Jesus standing right in front of them.
