Please Don't Write on Christ


Taggers managed to climb the scaffolding on the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio, and left their mark on the face of Jesus.

Landslides following heavy rains closed the road to the statue, which has been undergoing restoration.

It took nine years to build the 130-ft. sculpture, designed by local engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and sculpted by Paul Landowski. It opened in 1931. The statue was struck by lightning in 2008, damaging the fingers, head, and eyebrows.
