Cristo Rey, also known as Cristo Rey del Cubilete, is a monumental statue of Christ the King located atop the Cerro del Cubilete in Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico. The statue stands at 20 meters (65 feet) tall and is one of the most important religious shrines in the country. It was erected to symbolize the faith and resilience of Mexican Catholics during the Cristero War, a period of religious persecution in the early 20th century. The site attracts thousands of pilgrims each year, especially on the Feast of Christ the King, which is celebrated on the last Sunday of October.
