The statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was illuminated in the tricolors of the Armenian national flag on the occasion of the 29th anniversary of Armenia's independence, the Brazilian embassy in Armenia informed on Facebook.

"With this magnificent light and sound show, friendly Brazil pays tribute to Armenia's independence," the embassy’s post also reads.

In addition, the letters of the Armenian alphabet were displayed on this statue—and through a light show.
