Christ the Protector (Portuguese: Cristo Protetor) is a statue of Jesus Christ constructed in Encantado, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.[2]

The statue was started in 2019, and completed on April 22, 2022,[1][3] with a height of 43 m (140 ft) with its pedestal, making it the world's third tallest Jesus statue[4] (after Christ Blessing and Christ the King, Świebodzin) and 5m taller than the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.[5] Construction began in 2019 and was the idea of local mayor Adroaldo Conzatti, who died of COVID-19 in March 2021.[6][5]

The Friends of Christ Association (AACristo) organization funded the $350,000 to build it from donations and also oversaw the construction of the statue.[3][5][1] The venue will be open to the public sometime in 2023, said Robison Gonzatti, AACristo's vice president.[7]

Though the surrounding tourist complex is still under construction, visitors can visit the statue up close during Saturdays, Sundays and Brazilian holidays as indicated in their website.[8]
