Among The 7: Post 5: Saviour of Many

The religion of Christianity, sometimes was the cause of war ,sometimes, the solution which still echoes to us till this day . It was such a crucial part in history that it would be a shame if one of the best statues, the topic for today, was not a part of the 7 Wonders of The World.


In Christian theology (way of belief for the religion), Jesus is sometimes referred to by the title, Redeemer. This was because he is considered the person who redeemed souls.


You can pinpoint it in the former capital of Brazil, Rio De Janeiro, which also happens to house Estadio de Maracana. 


Paul Landowski, Heitor da Silva Costa and Albert Cauqout, a sculptor and engineers respectively, built the Christ the Redeemer statue using soapstone. The face was sculpted by Gheorghe Leonida. 


Construction began in 1926 (8 years after World war 1 was concluded) and was completed five years later. The resulting monument stands 98 feet tall, not including its base, which is about 26 feet high. Its outstretched arms span 92 feet.


In 2014 the tip of Jesus’s right thumb was damaged during a storm.


Now for the juicy opinions...


Although the structure isn’t so marvellous, it has a rich and beautiful history that makes it part of the Wonders of the World. 


That doesn’t mean that it is not worth being a part of your next vacation. Even if the structure does not satisfy you, the city will surely do.


We felt the happiest writing this blog for you to read because we are now on holidays from school. There will be new posts almost everyday so you don’t become bored.

School while also Acting

  As the majority of you guys requested, we are going to write on how child actors balance school and acting. Most child actors, unless they are told otherwise, will expect that the money they earn is theirs to keep and that it will be available to them when they come of age. Unfortunately for child actors, there are only laws like the Coogan law in FOUR states in the country: California, New York, New Mexico, and Louisiana. Work Hours for Minors in the Entertainment Industry are restricted. Minors in the entertainment industry may not work more than eight hours in a day [LC 1308.7 and 1392] or more than 48 hours in a week Most don't attend a real school once things take off; they do independent study on set with a tutor. If there are multiple kids in a cast, they may have a set teacher who looks after all of the kids. Sometimes in a dual role as tutor and chaperone. When they are not scheduled for work that day, they go to regular school or home school.  The regular school te...
