Brazil’s Christ Redeemer statue illuminated in blue and white for Israel’s 70th anniversary

National landmarks in Brazil and Poland were illuminated in blue and white to celebrate Israel’s 70th anniversary.

The Christ Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, which is managed by the Catholic Church, glowed in white and blue on Monday.

Commenting on the Rio tribute, Israel’s honorary consul there, Osias Wurman, told JTA: “It is a historic event in the Jewish-Christian relationship in Brazil. For the first time in 70 years, the most important symbol of the Christian faith in Brazil was illuminated with Israel’s blue and white.”
