On the Sacred Heart Square in Woubrechtegem there is a statue of Christ the King.
The statue of Christ the King was erected as a war memorial in 1926 , the year after the Feast of Christ the King was introduced by Pope Pius XI in 1925 , in response to the increasing secularism after World War I.
Christ the King represents the ultimate victory of love and justice , even after the horrors of war. For believers, such a monument was a lasting sign of hope , especially after WWI and WWII, when people sought solace in their faith. Christ's own suffering was often associated with the suffering of soldiers and civilians . The statue honors their sacrifice with a religious meaning.
