It's said to be the tallest and largest Divine Mercy Statue in Asia standing 50 feet tall. It serves as a pilgrimage site for all of its devotees. And to keep the place holy, visitors especially women are required to wear long skirts. If you go there wearing pants, the administrators assigned in the entrance of the gate will require you to wear the long skirts they'll provide for free. There are also scheduled masses and confessions everyday. When I was there, I went to confession for the preparation of the coming holy week and the Divine Mercy Feast too. The priest is a foreigner (from Poland) so the conversation was English. I had a hard time The place is really beautiful. You should visit some time. Update: The place is located in El Salvador, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. I have change the image I attached before. That picture now is mine and you can see me there wearing the long skirt provided at the entrance

You're welcome. There's a miracle of the dancing sun I saw in youtube during the feast of the Divine Mercy there.

I would have visited if I were in Philippines. Devotion of the Divine Mercy is very popular among Indian Catholics.
