Stockholm - A Swedish pastor has urged members of his congregation to help collect pieces of Lego - the famed plastic toy bricks - in order to build a statue of Christ, reports said on Monday.
Pastor Per Wilder believes 20 000 Lego pieces are needed to build the man-high statue, based on a model by Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen from 1839, the VLT newspaper said.
The original is made in white marble, so the challenge is to collect white Lego pieces for the planned statue in the Onsta Gryta church in the city of Vasteras, 100km west of Stockholm.
Students at the local ABB High School are currently creating a three-dimensional design on a smaller scale that is to be used initially.
Wilder said the idea was to get "people to rally around a joint project".
"If it works out well, the statue can be taken apart and re-assembled several times."
