}}Lux Mundi (Latin for "Light of the World") is a {{convert|52|ft|m|1|adj=on}}[2] tall statue of Jesus at Solid Rock Church, a Christian nondenominational church near Monroe, Ohio, in the United States. Designed by Tom Tsuchiya, Lux Mundi replaced the statue King of Kings which was struck by lightning and destroyed in 2010.[3][4]

Design

The statue shows Jesus stepping forward with a welcoming gesture, a pose inspired by the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. John.[5] Facing I-75, the statue stands on a foundation decorated by rocks with a cascading water feature.[6]

Because of its pose and inviting quality, Lux Mundi has earned the nickname “Hug Me Jesus”.[7]

Construction

The polymer composite and steel sculpture is mainly fabricated by Display Dynamics of Clayton, Ohio. Since the original statue at Solid Rock Church was destroyed by fire, the new statue incorporates fire resistant materials including a lightning suppression system.[8] Following several months of work, the major pieces of the statue were assembled together at the site on September 19, 2012,[9] and it was dedicated eleven days later.[9]
