It was made of artificial stone and covered with a Venetian glass mosaic. The statue, along with the eastern part of the church, was destroyed in 1945 during artillery fire by the Red Army. Its reconstruction began in September 2014, and its official unveiling took place in 2016. 350.000 cubes made of two types of Venetian glass with embedded gold leaves were used to reconstruct the mosaic.
