As you sail into Messina, Sicily, one figure quietly commands the horizon.

The Christ the King statue, standing at the entrance to the Sacrario di Cristo Re, looks out over the Strait of Messina, welcoming sailors, pilgrims and visitors alike.

More than a landmark, it's a sign of faith, remembrance and hope, a powerful first glimpse of Sicily, where history and belief meet the sea.
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
