The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer — a planned U.K. monument made of one million bricks representing one million answered prayers — promises to be the “largest symbol of hope in the world.”

“Each brick will recount a personal, specific way in which God has answered a prayer for people both now and in the past, offering a vast amount of experiences all explaining how God has come through for individuals in the midst of life’s storms,” the project’s website describes.

The white monument, which will be located in Coleshill, near Birmingham, U.K., will include prayers from around the world. So far, 85 countries have contributed. The organizers hope to include 90,000 prayers from the United States.

Interactive experience

The bricks will appear in the shape of a Möbius strip or infinity loop, with no beginning or end.

According to the project’s website, people will be able to spot the 169-foot tall monument from nearly six miles away. More than 500,000 “journeys” will pass by it each week, with visibility from cars, airplanes and trains.

Monument visitors will be able to read, listen or watch each prayer by pointing their phones at particular bricks using an app called “Bespoke.”
