The statue sits off shore of lake Chapala at the lakeside malecon. It is only a few years old (aprox 2010)
Jesus Christ was the Son of God born of the Virgin Mary. It is said that God sent His Son to redeem the human race and atone for mankind's sins. Jesus was crucified on a wooden cross at the hands of the Romans and on His death He asked God for forgiveness. His body was removed and buried in a sepulchre. It was sealed with a boulder and guards were stationed outside. On the third day, a great earthquake erupted and an angel descended from heaven and moved aside the boulder. The guards were terrified. When the holy women arrived to anoint the body, the tomb was empty. The women were told by an angel that Jesus had been resurrected from the dead. Jesus appeared to His disciples before finally ascending into Heaven.¹
