In life, it was a sight to behold: The soaring King of Kings statue in Monroe, Ohio (see the best photos here). But the inferno Monday night that leveled the statue was every bit as astonishing to witness (watch the blaze here).

Now officials at Solid Rock Church say they plan to have the icon rebuilt and restored.
