[tag]St Anne’s Church[/tag] [tag]Bukit Mertajam[/tag] had a face lift about 1-2 years ago.. The existing church was given a new coat of paint and a souvenir shop as well as a security office were built. One of the interesting addition were the 15 life sized statues that tell the story of [tag]Jesus[/tag] when he was crucified. The statues cost RM600,000 and are really life sized. The process of looking for all the statues was quite fun, it felt like a treasure hunt.

There you have it, all 15 [tag]life sized statues[/tag] featured in St Anne’s church. It was a really nice visit after so long (it’s been around 4-5 years since I last went) Quite happy also knowing that Bukit Mertajam has a new landmark now :)
