Christus

  1. A large white statue of the resurrected Jesus Christ, arms outstretched, widely used by the Church as a symbol of its faith in Him.

Based on a 19th-century sculpture by Bertel Thorvaldsen, replicas of the Christus stand in Church visitors' centers around the world, and its image now appears on the Church's official logo.
