Giant Buddhist goddess statue in Japan gets face mask to pray for the end of Covid-19

Workers in Japan made a 187-feet tall statue of a Buddhist goddess with a custom made mask on her face. Which is being considered as a prayer to end the corona epidemic.

At Houkokuji Aizu Betsuin temple in Fukushima Prefecture, it took four workers three hours to wear masks to a 57-meter-tall (187 ft) white statue of the Buddhist goddess Kannon, the goddess of mercy.

He had to use ropes to climb. According to the Japan Times, the entire task was completed in three hours with the footage being recorded by the drone.

The idol, built 33 years ago, has a spiral staircase at the back, which can be climbed up to the height of the goddess’s shoulder.

People visit the idol of this child-bearing goddess to pray for the safe delivery of the baby and seek blessings for their newborn babies.

Takaomi Horigane, the temple’s manager, said that after discussing the restoration of the statue after it was damaged in an earthquake in February, the activist also decided to put on a face mask.

Horigen said that they plan to put masks on the statue until the situation of COVID19 in Japan is under control.
