Risen Christ Statue

Where silence becomes presence

Just behind St. James Church stands a site that touches the hearts of countless pilgrims: the bronze statue of the Risen Christ. Depicting Jesus emerging from the Cross in triumph, this statue has become known not just for its beauty — but for a quiet, ongoing mystery.

Since the early 2000s, a constant trickle of moisture has been observed dripping from the statue’s right knee, with no scientific explanation. Many pilgrims consider it a visible sign of Christ’s nearness and compassion, especially for those carrying pain, grief, or unanswered prayers.
