The front wall above the main portal of the church in Ják (consecrated in 1256) is decorated with the life-sized statues of Christ and the twelve apostles. These statues fill a stepped line of niches. The Blessing Christ can be seen on top. The cast was made by József Reichenberger in 1908, in Budapest. It was exhibited in the Romanesque Hall.
