A rebirth for "Butter Jesus"

MONROE, Ohio (WDTN) - It's been more than two years since the so-called "Butter Jesus" burned to the ground after it was hit by lightning, but now a new statue is being built at a Miami Valley company.

--snip--

The new statue will be 52 feet tall, weighing about 7 tons with a wing span of 35 feet.

--snip--

It will also contain a lightning rod to try and prevent it from burning down again.
