Thousands of Mexicans visited one of the world's largest Jesus figures in Iztapalapa, Mexico City, to celebrate Christ's birth. Iztapalapa had displayed the largest Jesus figure for five years until Zacatecas surpassed it last year.

The community aims to create a complete nativity scene next year.
