VASTERAS, Sweden, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- A Vasteras, Sweden, church is asking for donations of white Lego blocks to be used in a life-size Jesus statue.

Per Wilder, the priest who is heading the initiative, estimated that the statue will require about 20,000 Legos, The Local reported Monday.

"If it works out well we could envisage pulling the statue apart regularly before building it back up again," he said.

Wilder said he feels using any Lego colors other than white would be tasteless. He said the statue should appear to be made from marble when viewed from a distance.
