The story behind the Christ the Redeemer statue

The road to see the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is winding and steep.

But at the top sits an icon, not just of the Rio skyline, but of the faith at the foundation of this city. But the story of why they built it on the Corcovado mountain is one most people are unfamiliar with. It's a testament to the humility of the highest order.
