This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

[[File:Estátua do Cristo Redentor nas cores da Bandeira do Brasil.jpg|left|thumb|The statue lit in the colors of the [[Flag of Brazil]]]]
[[Congregation of the Mission|Vincentian]] priest Pedro Maria Boss first suggested placing a Christian monument on Mount Corcovado in the mid-1850s to honor [[Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil|Princess Isabel]], regent of Brazil and the daughter of [[Emperor Pedro&nbsp;II]], but the project was not approved.<ref name="brit" /> In 1889, the country became a republic, and owing to the [[separation of church and state]] the proposed statue was dismissed.<ref>((cite web|url=https://prezi.com/lebig4ro4slk/cristo-corcovado/ |title=Cristo Corcovado by Sergi Lla on Prezi |publisher=Prezi.com |access-date=October 15, 2015))</ref>

The Catholic Circle of Rio made a second proposal for a landmark statue on the mountain in 1920.<ref name="Riotur"/> The group organized an event called ''Semana do Monumento'' ("Monument Week") to attract donations and collect signatures to support the building of the statue. The organization was motivated by what they perceived as "Godlessness" in the society. The donations came mostly from [[Roman Catholicism in Brazil|Brazilian Catholics]].<ref name="Largest christ" /> The designs considered for the "Statue of the Christ" included a representation of the [[Christian cross]], a statue of Jesus with a globe in his hands, and a pedestal symbolizing the world.<ref name="JB">((cite news |url=http://jbonline.terra.com.br/jb/papel/cidade/2005/10/11/jorcid20051011001.html |title=Redentor, carioca até a alma |access-date=July 17, 2008 |publisher=[[Jornal do Brasil]] |language=pt |first=Duilo |last=Victor ))((dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref> The statue of Christ the [[Redeemer (Christianity)|Redeemer]] with open arms, a symbol of peace, was chosen.

Local engineer [[Heitor da Silva Costa]] and artist Carlos Oswald designed the statue.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/2014/newsspec_7141/index.html#in-the-beginning-529|title=Arms Wide Open|language=en-GB|access-date=May 22, 2021|publisher=bbc))</ref> French sculptor [[Paul Landowski]] created the work.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.paul-landowski.com/en/portfolio/christ-redempteur/|title=(Français) Paul Landowski - L'officiel sculpteur du Christ rédempteur|language=en-US|access-date=February 2, 2020))</ref>

In 1922, Landowski commissioned fellow Parisian [[Romania]]n sculptor [[Gheorghe Leonida]], who studied sculpture at the Fine Arts Conservatory in Bucharest and in Italy.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.rio.rj.gov.br/web/portaldoservidor/exibeconteudo?id=5013051 |title=Cristo Redentor: santuário carioca que virou símbolo da cidade no mundo |publisher=Prefeitura da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro |date=October 20, 2014|language=pt))</ref>

A group of engineers and technicians studied Landowski's submissions and felt building the structure of [[reinforced concrete]] (designed by [[Albert Caquot]]) instead of steel was more suitable for the [[cross]]-shaped statue. The concrete making up the base was supplied from [[Limhamn]], Sweden.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.realtid.se/skanska-vi-ar-oskyldiga-till-underverket|title=Skanska: Vi är oskyldiga till underverket|date=July 9, 2007 ))</ref><ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.kristianstadsbladet.se/kultur/article1570427/Oppna-Kristusarmar-som-har-haft-skiftande-betydelse.html |title = Öppna Kristusarmar som har haft skiftande betydelse - Kultur - Kristi… |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140624211145/http://www.kristianstadsbladet.se/kultur/article1570427/Oppna-Kristusarmar-som-har-haft-skiftande-betydelse.html |archive-date=June 24, 2014 |url-status=dead))</ref> The outer layers are [[soapstone]], chosen for its enduring qualities and ease of use.<ref name="Travel Channel" /> Construction took nine years, from 1922 to 1931, and cost the equivalent of ((US$|250000|1921|round=-5)) and the monument opened on October 12, 1931.<ref name="Travel Channel" /><ref name="BBC" /> During the opening ceremony, the statue was to be lit by a battery of [[floodlight]]s turned on remotely by Italian [[shortwave radio]] inventor [[Guglielmo Marconi]], stationed ((convert|9200|km|mi|abbr=)) away in Rome but because of bad weather, the lights were activated on site.<ref name="Riotur">((cite web|url=http://www.rio.rj.gov.br/riotur/pt/atracao/?CodAtr=3912|title=Cristo Redentor – Histórico da Construção|language=pt|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090313041840/http://www.rio.rj.gov.br/riotur/pt/atracao/?CodAtr=3912|archive-date=March 13, 2009))</ref>

In October 2006, on the 75th anniversary of the statue's completion, [[Cardinal (Catholicism)|Cardinal]] [[Eusebio Oscar Scheid]], [[Archbishop]] of Rio, consecrated a [[chapel]], named after Brazil's patron saint—[[Nossa Senhora Aparecida|Our Lady of the Apparition]]—under the statue, allowing Catholics to hold baptisms and weddings there.<ref name="BBC" />

Lightning struck the statue during a violent thunderstorm on February 10, 2008, causing some damage to the fingers, head and eyebrows. The [[Rio de Janeiro (state)|Rio de Janeiro state]] government initiated a restoration effort to replace some of the outer soapstone layers and repair the lightning rods on the statue.

In 2010, a massive restoration of the statue began. Work included cleaning, replacing the mortar and soapstone on the exterior, restoring iron in the internal structure, and waterproofing the monument.

In 1990, several organizations, including the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro|Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro]], media company [[Grupo Globo]], oil company Shell do Brasil, environmental regulator 
of [[Environment and Renewable Natural Resources|IBAMA]], [[National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage]], and the city government of Rio de Janeiro entered into an agreement to conduct restoration work.

More work on the statue and its environs was conducted in 2003 and early 2010. In 2003, a set of [[escalator]]s, walkways, and elevators were installed to facilitate access to the platform surrounding the statue. The four-month restoration in 2010<ref name="BBC, 2010-07-01" /> focused on the statue itself. The statue's internal structure was renovated and its soapstone mosaic covering was restored by removing a crust of fungi and other microorganisms and repairing small cracks. The [[lightning rod]]s located in the statue's head and arms were also repaired, and new lighting fixtures were installed at the foot of the statue.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SIgOyJM8DY ''Christ the Redeemer''] se la come, ''YouTube video'', accessed January 20, 2011.</ref>

The restoration involved one hundred people and used more than 60,000 pieces of stone taken from the same [[quarry]] as the original statue.<ref name="BBC, 2010-07-01">((cite news |title=Brazil's Christ state returns after renovation |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/latin_america/10471781.stm |work=[[BBC News]] |date=July 1, 2010 |access-date=July 1, 2010))</ref>  During the unveiling of the restored statue, it was illuminated with green-and-yellow lighting in support of the [[Brazil national football team]] playing in the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]].<ref name="BBC, 2010-07-01" />
