The giant torso Jesus statue - with arms reaching to the heavens - was destroyed by lightning yesterday in Ohio.
The famous 62 foot Jesus-imagined likeness was erected next to the Solid Rock Church on I-75 near Cincinnati, Ohio.
The statue was nicknamed "Touchdown Jesus."
A lightning bolt hit the statue, which caught fire and burned to its metal frame.
Reports from the fire scene claim that the nearby Hustler store was left unscathed in the electrical storm.
According to AP reports, the statue was comprised of fiberglass and Styrofoam. No injuries were reported at the scene.
The AP posted this citizen journalist video of the fire:
