Cristo Rey (Mexican statue)
The Cerro del Cubilete (in English, "Dice Cup Hill") is a mountain in Silao Municipality in Guanajuato, Mexico.
Cerro del Cubilete is one of the most historically important religious shrines in Mexico and marks the country's geographical center. The current structure and base for the statue was created by artist Nicholas Mariscal in 1944 to honour the struggle of the Cristeros.
In the words of former Mexican President Vicente Fox, the statue serves as a "rebuke to the suppressors of religious freedom" who sought to quash the Church during the persecution of Christians in Mexico during the first half of the twentieth century.〔Fox, Vicente and Rob Allyn Viking, 2007〕
==History==
The site was originally occupied by a smaller statue of Jesus, "Christ the King". It was destroyed by bombers directed by the anti-religious (and particularly anti-Catholic) regime of President Plutarco Elías Calles, as part of his mission to kill Christian rebels and destroy all Christian symbols during the nation's critical "Cristero War" when state atheism was enforced.
